#1 How about starting a fund raising drive in Mumbai?

#2 Sometimes, you just have to let people go, and hope that they bottom out. But letting children be exposed to polio by these islamic nutcases is total insanity. I guess that the disease of ignorance will have to run its course in Pakistan. There is no other way.

Who knows, maybe POTUS O will wave his wand and make it all right.

#7 Alaska Paul, you are so right. Many years ago I was taught by my first business mentor that sometimes you have to let people fail. Not until then will there be a teachable moment where your advice might be heard.

Of course he followed up by saying "Some of these morons can never be taught, better to leave them to stew in their own juice."

#9 I read an article the other day (here, perhaps?) that families who want their children properly educated -- especially those with daughters -- have been emigrating from the Taliban territories to the more civilized parts of the Land of the Pure. No doubt these same families will ensure that their children are vaccinated. Can an entire region be given a Darwin Award?
