The government of Pakistan has no interest in catching the shooters. They are more concerned about getting $3000 per truckload of supplies being sent to American forces in Afghanistan -- or prosecuting anyone who defends themselves against Paki thieves and robbers. It's all about the money in Pakistan -- that and trying everything in their power to embarrass America any way they can.
Can you just imagine if the women in the world Stood UP and said enough! It would be amazing! A day a week a month...what ever, every single woman could march in their cities and towns...just stand up and stop this madness...we should support our sisters and their children from the people that try and supress and harm us. Do it peacefully for this one strong young lady! This is the saddest thing I have seen in years!
And the democratic party claims and chastizes other Americans with their "war on women", yet are completley silent when their own call women the most horrific things as their children. The black lady that just expressed she was a romney supporter has recieved death threats and the most pitiful comments ,yet these women supporters stay silent. And they do the same when women are rocked,beaten and out and out murdered in the name of a false religon, and these so called women's rights people, including the "femi-nazis" turn their heads away. I know what party really stands for the women, working , poor, and helpless and it sure is NOT the democratic party.
Spoken like a man who knows nothing about women.
To the Taliban....
I am your mother, your sister, your wife, your daughter. Why are you so afraid of us? Are you afraid of intelligent, educated women? Are you afarid that we may prove to be more rational, more devoted, more capable than you? Ignorance breeds contempt. And contempt engenders ignorance.
After hearing Malala speak on a video, I realize she is an absolute treasure. The Taliban have vowed to attack her again.
Due to their savagery, the Taliban hurt Malala badly. I pray the best neuro trauma care in the world will be offered to her.
The Taliban cannot be allowed to ever hurt her again. We must protect Malala.
