Despite the US help the Pakistan government especially under Musharraf simply failed to stem the tide of terrorism and now we hear of Pakistani soldiers trying to stop US forces from Afghanistan encroaching into their territory.
What is wrong with Pakistan?
And what is wrong with the muslim world. The best thing for muslims to do is to condemn the murderers who slaughter innocent muslims with others..they are not muslims anymore but murderers...
George Bush may not be popular but history will judge Bush as the one who flushed out the killers and warned the world of their existence and now the world truly sees the murderers lurking in the dark everywhere.
They are not muslim murderers but evil murderers and the world condemns those cowards...

This is sex slavery and the two should be punished appropriately. Sex slavery is a serious problem and the authorities should pay more attention to it. Men who use sex slaves should also be punished. Society must have protection for women who are forced into sex slavery.
Because often the people behind sex slavery may be linked to criminals the police must have a 911 sort of number for sex slaves to dial and get help.
These days innocent women are also kidnapped into sex slavery. Women need protection and we should do more to stop sex slavery.

Huh? How does taking your own life atone for anything? Two wrongs don't make a right. Those who want someone to die for his mistake or wrongdoing is merely seeking revenge. Those who think taking their own life will pay for the mistake or wrongdoing are making another mistake.
The man of courage is the one who admits his mistake and takes pains to face those he has wronged and makes amends as best he can. The idea that you can make up for anything by taking your life is faulty and also immoral.
People who take their lives are not cowards unless you are a cruel mass murderer like Hitler. People like that are afraid to face the justice. But many who kill themselves are depressed. There is no honour in taking your life. It is a misplaced act of honour.
Society needs to have compassion. Compassion is better than suicide. In life we make mistakes all the time and humility and compassion provide the means of redemption, not suicide.
Many Japanese need to know that because the idea of sucide as an honourable means of saving face is actually quite meaningless and achieves zilch. There is a better way and that is the way of humility, compassion and forgiveness.
Since we are not Jesus who is perfect and sinless no one can atone for the sins of another or even his own. Everyone deserves another chance and no one needs to take his or her own life. This is my humble opinion. Arigato.
