Colonial Conditions
Islamabad
Is not so bad.
Pashtunabad
Is veddy bad.
Peshawar's
In civil war.
Karachi's
Hot and scratchy.
You know I'm not a quitter,
But I quit if I go to Quetta;
The market crawls with jihadi,
Perfect place to hide a Quaeda.
Though, what a fun job
To go to work in Punjab,
To which Lahore's
A fragrant open door!
Special Ambassador Richard Holbrooke had just
returned from a comprehensive tour of Pakistan in February 2009.
