KHANPUR: A woman, who was married, became a victim of acid throwing when a man threw acid on her, after she rebuked him for making advances towards her. According to doctors, Ms Zahooran was in a critical condition even after several days of the incident, having suffered 47 percent burns and may even losing her eyesight. Zahooranâs family sources said, âThe police arrested the brother of the accused Muhammad Shafiq for questioning, but later released him and have closed the case as they belongs to an influential family.â

I feel so tired...

Meanwhile Zahooranâs husband, Allah Bakhsh and father Huzoor Bakhsh said, âThe police has not arrested the accused and they are not listening to our complaint as we are poor.â Later they appealed to the authorities for help and to provide justice.

#1 Somebody give these people an AK confiscated from Iraq. Three or four rounds should be sufficient, if the weapon is properly sighted.

The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution was written just to make sure that ALL of us had access to justice, either in the court, or outside it. We need a 2nd Amendment for the entire world...

#2 What's with these guys throwing acid on women? Is that in the Koran somewhere or is acid just a too-convenient mechanism for taking out your frustration?

#3 Reading stuff like this...
I have to keep reminding myself that the rest of the world has always been this corrupt. The huge increase in my awareness of it is not due to the change in corruption, but rather the increased availability of news.
The rats have always been there. We're seeing them because we've turned the light on.
If I don't remind myself of this, I find myself thinking of shining the teracandles kind of light on the situation.

#4 Not all the rest of the world, Dishman, but I'll agree that it's a large percentage.
I commented to some friends after September 11th that at least America might now wake up and pay attention to the rest of the world. Of course, they didn't realize exactly what I meant by that...
I'm all for more spotlights. The more the better.
