IT'S NOT JUST POLITICS
It's simple for people who live and breathe politics to think that this war and the questions surrounding it...tactics, costs, the definition of America and what it is to be an American...is an abstract issue, all cocktail party banter, quips by clever guests, another pinot grigiot? But it's not an abstract at all. In Europe, where the "rubber hits the road" it's a blood sport.
The murder of a young Pakistani woman by her Muslim father has sparked a fierce debate in Italy about how to deal with the "clash of civilisations".
Hina Saleem, 21, was reported missing last Saturday by her boyfriend...She told the manager of the pizzeriawhere she worked as a waitress that she had been summoned home to meet a cousin who was passing through. Then her mobile phone went dead.
When the Carabinieri broke into the house in the region of Brescia in northern Italy, they found Hina's bedroom spattered with blood. In the garden, buried under a metre of soil and with her jeans and blouse soaked in blood, was the body of the missing girl. Her throat had been slit.
These are real matters. Hina was a real girl. Anybody need an illustration of what these people do to homosexuals? Think about what's at stake here, folks.
It's not just politics.
