| Pakistan sees poverty as biggest challenge | |

| Still having trouble with cause and effect, aren't they? Pakistan called for âa multi-dimensional approachâ to eradicate poverty in the Least Developed Countries (LDC). â(Poverty) is the biggest challenge for the least developed countries,â said a delegate from Pakistan while addressing the economic issues committee of the United Nations General Assembly on its agenda for the UN conference on LDCs. Senator Babar Khan Ghori said eradicating poverty would also require greater synergy among efforts by states, civil society organisations and the international community. The LDCs must get support from the international community to eradicate poverty and reach international development goals, he said.

| #5 Get your head outta the Qu'ran, support your females getting a higher education (half their brain power's gone when they shut the women up in the homes), & quit encouraging your already poor to have more kids then they, the economy, or the environment can support........ |

| #3 Shutting down the Madrasses would be step no. 1. OP---you summed it all up. All the rest is window dressing. Some rational thinking skills will help the position of women in their society. The only thing holding Pak up economically is US and Saudi money. And oiiiiiiiillllllllllll. Take a look at literacy rates in these areas and you can see what a hole these Islamocracies have dug themselves. (CIA world fact book is a good source) |

| #2 All it takes to eradicate poverty are three things: respect for private property; a general education that includes things like HISTORY, SCIENCE, and MATHEMATICS, instead of harping solely on religion, religion, religion; and personal freedoms, including freedom of expression. Guess which one is missing? If you said all three, go to the head of the class. |
