Does anyone remember when our NAC professor/student advisor Nesar Ahmed was killed on his trip home to Pakistan - in 1986(?) ? In a "terrorist" attack against a Pan Am flight back to the states - people were machined gunned down on the plane as it sat on the runway in Karachi -Nesar was a very sweet intelligent person - he was the one who had encouraged me to study in Africa vs. Japan - "you need to go to see how most of the world lives, you should study in a peripheral country" (vs. Industrialised Japan) - I spoke with him when he was planning his first trip back to Pakistan after many years - he was excited about visiting his family but a little bit apprehensive re: the politics there - he had socialist leanings and was close friends with Benazir Bhutto who was in charge at the time - anyway he never made it back to the states from his trip - he left behind his wife and little girl - I am concerned about terrorism however I'm super concerned about all the terroists we're creating by unjustly detaining people and blowing up their countries - how do you all feel about traveling to other countries @ this time ? as an American -
