Obama in The Audacity of Hope:
Increasingly, I [Obama] found myself spending time with people of means - law firm partners and investment bankers, hedge fund managers
and venture capitalists. As a rule, they were smart, interesting people knowledgeable about public policy, liberal in their politics,
expecting nothing more than a hearing of their opinions in exchange for checks... They believed in the free market and an educational
meritocracy; they found it hard to imagine that there might be any social ill that could not be cured with a high SAT score. They had no
patience with protectionism, found unions troublesome, and were not particularly sympathetic to those whose lives were upended by
movements of global capital. Most were adamantly pro-choice and were
vaguely suspicious of deep religious sentiment...”
An education means being truly enlightened. To see more. To hear more.To know more in essence. Going off of Obama’s realization, the most
educated people belonging to the true public policy, egalitarian school of thought that believe in the strength of knowledge. In the fruits it can bring and the challenges it can impose on those that choose to leave us in the dark.
The newest addition to the control of the Homeland though seems to enjoy the darker choice. (Excuse the pun on the infamous ‘dark side’.) The parallel legal system run by the Taleban demands a personal
interpretation of Sharia that cannot help but make me extremely, not near vaguely, suspicious of the this deep religiosity.
Quoting desi legal experts"The Taleban have always said they want the implementation of their version of Sharia law here."
I have to admit here though that how can general citizens be expected abide by the law when felons and former drug abusers run the government. Choicely ignored, this has always been ignored as we can
see by the current top rooster of the green-and-white homeland, or by the former head of the blue-red-and-white country.
Going back to our so-called religious leaders, aside from the legality of the matter, I find it hard to believe that any religious book would allow the tearing down of, and banning of girls schools. All the hard
work of building a geographically challenged area, especially by
extraordinary people like Greg Mortenson who have dedicated their lives to the cause of education is now crumbling right in front of us.

schools and improving lives between the most remote parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. To learn more visit:

While there are good things happening in Pakistan, the restoration of the Chief Justice being the most recent example, I am wondering why so little heed is being paid to the crucial issue over such sentiment.
Where is the long-march for the ambush of lives and the tearing down of spirits?
