#2 The problem is most Pakistani's can't get educated anywhere else. The Pakistani government should build a real education system and starve the maddrasses of students. If the Paks can't afford it perhaps the US (or India) could chip in a bit. It would pay for itself in the long run by stabalizing the region.

Perhaps the Turks could fund and build a few Sufi flavored Mosques and maddrasses to combat the Saudi sponsered Wahhabi psychos.

#3 It doesn't count Raj... the holy kram is written in Base19. I will leave for the students to figure out what 6666 is in the holy base.
