Yes, a government of despicable fucks is better than no government.
I confess I'd never really thought about the risks we take ourselves putting other people in danger in order that we can do these things - at least not in that way, it's obvious in some other circumstances such as mountain rescue. I could kind of relate to what she said about staying in Quetta and visiting the guarded hotel, as there were places like that when we were in Bangalore, even before the Mumbai attack. In fact, there were bombs in Blr too, part of India's inter-communal terrorism, but no one was killed. Anyway, those luxury hotels are popular with Indians too as a sort of shopping destination, but the whole thing is very claustrophobic (in both senses). Must be fifty times as bad in a "terror hotspot".
