| Maybe they can use that Plutonium production reactor as a schoolroom. At least the Kaushab facility has buildings, a fence, a compound, toilets, running water and electricty, something pak "schools" do not ISLAMABAD: More than half of the state-owned schools in the country lack proper buildings, electricity, water and sanitation facilities, or boundary walls, according to statistics presented by the Education Ministry to the Senate Standing Committee on Education. |

| #4 They have 200,000 schools? What's the official population of Paki-waki? Divide in 2 (assuming 50% of the population is school age), and then divide that again by 2 (assume 50% live in muzzie villages where "education" is frowned upon, or they're forced into the madrassas). Something tells me, these #s are skewed. |

| #2 I wonder is all the hand wringing apologists who bitch about electricity in Iraq will pay attention to this? Nah, nothing here, move along. So what is the situation is better in Iraq, that's not the point, its about bitching at the slightest thing as long as they suffer from BDS. |
