WHEN AFRICA WAS STARVING ALL THE WESTERN ARTISTS GOT TOGETHER TO PUT TOGETHER THE BAND-AID AND LIVE-AID

WHERE ARE ALL THOSE VOICES NOW?

DO WE NEED THEM?

NO ----- IF ALL THE PAKISTANIS AROUND THE WORLD JUST DEVOTED A LITTLE OF THEIR TIME AND THEIR EXPERTISE - WHATEVER IT MAY BE TO HELP US BUILD OUR COUNTRY BACK...WE DONT NEED ANY OTHER SUPPORT.
