Award for the dumbest thread running right now.
I have lived and worked in the big cities of USA …. Present day Karachi is a heaven compared to what I saw , experienced and had to do in the USA .
Worked here :

First not a single taxi driver was willing to take me there after dark. Luckily I met couple of Pakistani drivers and one drove me there at night and even refused to take fare from me.
There are no red lights at night …. If you stop at the intersection it’s only to buy drugs. Everyone has to go through the body scanner and armed security which only allows patients , workers and close relatives in. Often patients were handcuffed to the hook on the walls or staff protection.
We had USA army trauma surgeons working there to get “war like experience “. The worst I ever saw other than regular bullet wounds and dead patients was a Russian guy who was taken by the drug dealers for unpaid debt and they took knifes to superficially slice his entire body especially his face . I could not believe I was in the USA but apparently it was not a big deal for other residents and fellows working there.
Oh one more case I can never forget. Drug dealer’s put bull bit some guy’s lips off.
It was simply horrible .
I never heard Prrsident Bush or the army chief ever talking about any of this …
