#1 I'm going to paraphrase an old Saturday Night Live sketch (lines spoken by Dan Akroyd,in relation to an abortion, for his debate opponent's mother):

"Normally, I would be a strong opponent of (Sharia law /eye-for-an-eye) practice, but - in this particular case - not only would I support (the sentence), but I would gladly perform (the task) myself."

I am utterly amazed at the frequency of the acid-maiming sceanrio in Southwest Asia, as well as the impunity with which it is typically carried out.

I detest bullies who terrorize others. Don't tell me that similar frequent sentences (along with castration by blowtorch) wouldn't deter this practoice - bullies are always cowards (ain't that right Saddam?!?).

#2 Makes you think there might be hope yet for Pakistan.

Public is good. Watch even more cowards. That will probably do a lot of good. Nothing like exposing them and what they believe in for what they are.

And just remember, when corrosive substances are banned, only criminals will have corrosived substances.
