This story of the 86 Shiites killed in suicide bombings is truly a tragedy. However, the response to the killings by the government has been atrocious. After this event the people "have lost confidence" in the Pakistani government. The families have refused to bury the dead until the army comes to protect the city. Despite the protest of the people the Pakistani Army has done nothing to protect them. The government's lack of protection of the people of the city has left those within it in protest. The government's failure to recognize and act upon the killing of 86 of their is a crime. It is the role of those in power to protect those who are less able. In this case the government is failing to act in the time of greatest need of their citizens.

These innocent Shiites were killed for reasons solely pertaining to their beliefs, and that in itself is unacceptable. This is especially so in this day and age of supposed religious tolerance. It is appalling that the government has done absolutely nothing to resolve the problem, or even give any form of response to this tragedy. It is the duty of the government to act on and solve the problems of the people, and this is not what is happening here in Pakistan.
