#1 Parvez needs to show more balls or else take a hike!
He needs to:

1. Shut all Madrassahs down - They breed ignorence full stop.
2. Cull the religious leadership et al Soviet Gulag style and sent off their followers for "re-education".

And the Yanks need to get their act togather - They were and are the secondary party responsible for this Jihadi/Madrassah mess in Pakistan ( remember the 1980s Soviet/Afghan Jihad? Well this shit is the legacy of that ) and now need to push Musharaf to get his act togather - Off course they got to support him militarly/financialy and see the neutralizing project to its end, even if it takes decades.

Any wanting to know why/how we have so many Madrassahs in Pakistan please let me know - Will be obliged to inform!!!

#2 I thought a significant number of the Pakistani madrassahs were founded and funded by the Saudis? And anyway, I can't imagine anything is going to change until Pakistan provides universal free education, at least at the primary level, and ideally at the secondary as well. For the poor of Pakistan, the madrassahs are the only opportunity for even a facsimile of an education, useless though it may be. This is not something the Yanks can impose upon Pakistan, nor will Yank financial support enable it to happen. Primary education need not be expensive: a slate and chalk for each child, a blackboard and more chalk for the teacher. Everything else is extra. My own children learnt their letters by picking them out on the signs above the shops, long before they started school; for both, the first word each could read, besides her own name, was "pizza." ;-) There is no reason to believe that the children of Pakistan are any less able than Yankee children.

#3 I'm not sure expanding the primary education as it stands is a good thing, currently, a Year 5 student in a Pakistani state school should be able to:

Acknowledge and identify forces that may be working against Pakistan.
Demonstrate by actions a belief in and fear of Allah.
Make speeches on Jihad and Shahadat (martyrdom)
Understand Hindu-Muslim differences and the resultant need for Pakistan and Indiaâs evil designs against Pakistan.
Demonstrate respect for the leaders of Pakistan

#6 how 'bout that 60 acre LeT compound, Perv? Step 1. Take that to the ground - kill or arrest the leaders? Step 2, cut off all Saoodi funding..
