Blog #13 War

For my blog on the topic of war I found an article from CNN that talks about Pakistani protests. The article is about how the police had to fight running battles against protestors who threw stones and defied a government ban on rallies. It isn't necessarily on the topic of a more famous war, but it is a war between the citizens and government. The cause of the fighting is that the citizens were going to have a four-day march onto the capital of Pakistan. When the police heard about this they tried to stop them by waiting and firing tear gas. The government has way more power in Pakistan so there were a lot of arrests made. After hearing about what happened even Hillary Clinton tried to resolve the conflict. If the two powers could find a balance, it is a relatively easy conflict to resolve.
