Re: Malala Yousufzai attacked
While there was no coverage of the Swat under taleban, she was the one who brought world attention to the problem. Its really very easy to support these kind of regimes and people without actually living under them. I have seen some of these people very closely, and the destruction of places close to where I used to live or work.
I have posted a video about Malala from 2009, which shows the meeting she had with Richard Holbrooke with her father, and asked the US to help in reviving education for girls in the region. That is being used by right wingers as a propaganda. There was absolutely no justification for this act, and hence the taleban is on the back foot after the incidence.
The confusion of the conspiracy theorists is such that they cannot decide whether she was attacked due to her secular nature or there was a big conspiracy (by Pakistan Army and Americans) to launch an operation in NWA.
