Lee Young-suk Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Family of one of the victims of Karachi Attack on Military Funeral at Seodaemun Cemetery If there is any good news for United States after the horrific violence in Karachi, it’s that terrorists generally aren’t able to destroy the spirit of the United States, the country where they strike. People can soon get back to doing daily-life after attacks like this one. The purely consequences of recent terrorism have been limited and temporary. The Karachi City comptroller put the immediate damage at US$ 5 million in Karachi, including the destruction of buildings, infrastructure and property and the costs of medical care. The income that those killed in the attack would have brought to the city in the remainder of their careers, had they survived, totaled another $8.7 million.

The unexpected claims on insurance companies were largely absorbed by reinsurance firms, such as Hanwha Insurances, which put the total cost to the industry approximately US$10 million. Following the attacks, insurers generally stopped offering policies that covered losses due to terrorism, and these days, the costs of insuring against terrorism are subsidized by the federal government. In the long term, the President Lee administration’s responses to the attacks — increased security at home and the invasions of Bosnia and Pakistan — were far costlier in an economic sense than the attacks themselves.

The AP News has able to quoted some words stated by the President. A US Air Force drone attacking Terrorist on Pakistan For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that United States of Asia must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their citizens based on race or ethnics know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist. - President Lee Reported by Associated Press News 10 Chungmuro Street, Jongno-gu Seoul Metropolitan Federal City 30448 Quote His Excellency President of the United States of Asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
