Inevitable Attack

The Sri Lankan cricket team was attacked in Pakistan:

Former Sri Lanka coach Trevor Penney never believed there'd be a terror attack on a cricket team in Pakistan because the people were so passionate about the sport.

Yet Sri Lanka's decision to tour Pakistan after teams such as Australia, India and the West Indies had refused ended in a deadly attack Tuesday that has been condemned by governments and cricket players and officials around the world.

A dozen men used rifles, grenades and rocket launchers to attack a bus and van carrying the Sri Lankan team and officials to the Stadium for the third day of the second cricket test, injuring players and killing six police officers and a civilian.

If the Pakistani public ever wonders why the rest of the world tends to regard it as a dangerous country, behavior like this coupled with nuclear weapons would provide a great educational lesson.
