With all of the attention on the violence in Lebanon and on the Bombay blasts, it's easy to forget that people all over the world are dealing with violence. Turabi, a Shia leader, was killed in Karachi on Friday. Subsequently the city has flared in violence again; the KFC in Gulshan was set on fire, buses have been burned, and fighting and gunshots have been reported. So far, there are no confirmed casualties, which is something to be grateful for, I suppose. But with all the violence right now, plus the derailing of the Pakistan-India peace process, and now the burning of Karachi - it's put me in a very bad mood.
