Imagine two Pakistan embassy officials roaming around in a car (with fake number plates) near the Capital buildings in Washington DC are found with 2 Kalashnikov guns, 6 Grenades, and 6 Bullet proof jackets.
Or how about, a notorious weapons subcontractor of the Pakistani Embassy is found with unlicensed weapons in the tune of dozens.
Would they be
- Let go with a smile
- Taken off to Guantanamo
- Just disappear from the face of the earth
Without a doubt, its likely that option 2 or 3 would be the most likely result. However, as described in Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Option 1 was what actually happened.
All these examples were of foreign diplomats with diplomatic immunity. My question is, in times as precarious as we have right now, with bombs and terror attacks happening ever so often, and with plenty of doubt about the actions of foreigners being involved in these activities, whether we should allow diplomatic immunity to these embassies.

hey sajjad, thanks for bringing up such subjects, including media links (most paki bloggers start to phantasize immediately and take such stories to ridiculous hights blaming the whole world of their fate which doesnt serve the purpose). I can very well immagine that the account of the Dutch guys e.g. just happened as written at Pak Daily - They want to spice up their life in the otherwise mostly calm city with pretending everything is a madhouse and the yneed guns. Like this, they can tell beautiful adventure stories to their kids at home...
with countless bomb blasts and dozens of security threats...its not a calm city at all. it just seems ridiculous to me to be carrying around weapons at a time like this...esp GRENADES...i mean...thats not a grandchildren story...thats flirting with death...and also...wonder why this never came into the news anywhere in the world.
