5 women buried alive in Pak, MP defends act
2008-09-01
A Pakistani lawmaker defended a decision by southwestern tribesmen to bury five women alive because they wanted to choose their own husbands, telling stunned members of parliament this week to spare him their outrage.
"Oh, spare me yer outrage! The Pashtuns are just as looney!"
"We are?"
"These are centuries-old traditions and I will continue to defend them," Israr Ullah Zehri, who represents Baluchistan province, said on Saturday.
"Savagery is good for the nation! It make us what we are!"
"And what are we?"
"Ummm... Savages?""
"Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid."
"Define 'immoral'."
"Stuff I don't approve of."
The women, three of them teenagers, were shot and then thrown into a ditch. They were still breathing as their bodies were covered with rocks and mud, according to reports, which said their only 'crime' was that they wished to marry men of their choosing.

#7  Sounds like this MP needs to experience the joy of premature burial. In his case, in a coffin, so he can enjoy trying to scrape through the lid with his fingertips.

To keep things extra interesting, give him a narrow air hose, with a little bacon grease dripping down it. And give him the choice of breathing greasy air, or suffocating.

Even better, there should be a minicam in there as well, so it can be made into a DVD movie.

#3  And if we get more involved in the "good" war in Afghanistan, we're going to have to deal with them forcefully, sooner or later. Then the Chinese are going to have to decide what to do. I hope the USN is prepping to be more involved in this war in the future.

#1  This is a country with a nuclear weapons capability. Something tells me we're living on borrowed time with these people.
