with enough benizirs and malala's, things will get better. the majority wants peace and freedom. seeing that tens of thousands protested this wknd about malala's shooting gives me hope that pakistan will straighten themselves out.

Of course the majority want peace and freedom. I would think that is common to all cultures.

Maybe Malala's case will bring about "enough is enough" mentality from the majority who want peace.

Fantastic story pushing her for Time's Person of the Year

Quote:
This is a golden opportunity for Republican leaders to join Malala and speak out forcefully in support of women’s rights throughout the world. Furthermore, it is an opportunity for our leaders to distinguish real women’s rights issues from the fabricated issues peddled by the left. It is insulting to claim that women are oppressed in our country unless the government pays for their birth control.

Is it not disgraceful to complain about made-up discrimination against women in this country when girls in other countries are aborted or killed after birth because their parents do not want to pay for their dowries when they get older? Does having to pay for a one dollar condom without a government grant compare to a woman being murdered in an “honor killing” by her family simply because she had premarital relations ?
