#2 â€œWe are Pushtoon people. For us, the women’s honour matters more than life,”

Hameed said. He said his mother, wife, and sister remained in the mountains. “We feel safer with them in the hills,” he said.

I have to agree, I believe my family will be safer too, if all Paki Pushtoon people stay at 10,000 feet this winter.

#3 Hameed, who lost his home in last month’s devastating temblor, says he would rather his family die from the cold than descend from the 10,000-feet high peak and risk being exposed to strangers at relief camps in the disaster zone.

Fine. There are other more reasonable people that deserve the assistance that's available. The sooner these types die off, the better off everybody else will be.

#4 According to this BBC article

At times, even excellent quality beef, clearly marked halal, was turned down by the recipients because it was delivered by the Americans, such is the mistrust of the United States here.

#6 But this is not question of life. This is the question of our women’s honour.”

Your families frozen carcasses will thank you after your return from the nice, warm tents down below.

Gawd is indeed grate.

#12 Not to be picky with the site owner's very own choices, but wouldn't the article be better served by a lemmings graphic? There is about the same will-to-survive quotient... Or perhaps that double honor-dignity meter? It's because I'm sophisticated and nuanced, you understand.

#13 Natural selection is our friend. Now if only Kennedy, Kerry, Gore, Pelosi, Carter, and the Clintons had such high principles...

#14 The sad thing is that is probably not the women making this choice. The men will survive.

#16 I thought all this to be very inspiring... think of the poems... the songs... oops! songs are bad bad bad! it would be more inspiring if princess Osama bin M. Laden, Zawahiri, Omar the one-eyed wonder and their pet pig Zarqawi move on top of that there 10,000' mountain area and tough it out with their pashtoon baboons this winter. Now, that would be inspiring!

#18 What a pleasant surprise to see stupidity actually be painful for a change. While I feel sorry for the women who must submit to this insanity, the sooner all these morons are dead the better. There is no helping those who cannot adapt to circumstances.

The clerics who have advised these idjits against heading downslope remind me of union negotiators who adamantly refuse to accept any wage cuts and suddenly find the factory closed down forever. These intransigent imams are about to see their flocks shrink rather dramatically. It's comforting to know that they won't have nearly as many sheep to program next spring.

As to the survivors refusing our food aid. Good news all around, let those who hate us the most starve to f&%king death. Serves 'em right.

#19 Now if only the survivors would cut off THEIR testicles after losing ( family, goats, home, fill in the blank) we could maybe get us a two-fer...
