A moment of silence? I don't know what it means for us. Here is my round-up if September 11, 2012 here in Pakistan. A moment of silence for the factory infernos in Karachi and Lahore that killed hundreds yesterday, a moment of silence for the 100 people who were swept away yesterday in dear Ghazi Khan, a moment of silence for a 10 people killed in Karachi in firing incidents, a moment of silence for people killed for their religious believes in Quetta, a moment of silence for the gang rape in Pindi, a moment of silence for the new law that says 'small corruption will be ignored', a moment of silence for Rimsha Maseeh who'll stay home for the rest of her life. I think we are already practicing these moments of silence all the time but keeping our mouths shut and not speak-up and act enough. In my country, every day is a 9/11 of its own kind and hope and wish all of us Pakistanis (at least) give this some value. A life wasted in WTC 10 years back was a father or mother or son or daughter and so are these they die everyday here on the streets of Pakistan. I have never ever seen a "moment of silence" statuses on those. I wish no one died then and i wish no died yesterday and I wish my Pakistani brothers and sisters give all of them the same treatment.

Yes indeed, I agree with you and hope that this mayhem will fade in Pakistan soon.
