400K for a Statue? In Pakistan?

This is not only wasteful, it shows the absolute ignorance of the people involved. The "eye of the needle" was a type of gate in a corral used during the time of Jesus. Picture side by side wooden poles that give only under the pressure derived from pulling on ropes. When the poles give, they bow, creating a look similar to the eye of a needle, hence the name. A corralled camel could not pass through this eye without someone purposely opening the poles. Same mindset that cannot understand what the separation of church and state really means. Idiots.

    Sure...this makes sense to me. A Churchill statue in front of the British Embassy; bonsai in front of the Japanese embassy and a camel for the US embassy?

    Camels roamed with the buffalo in the the West, don’t you know?
