THE BEGINNING

IS THIS THE FUTURE? OUR FUTURE? The old ones talk of the time where major cities once sat in the middle of one of the wealthiest regions of the world, but it is all just blackness now. Soot is everywhere. A baby's shoe...a woman's purse. A skeletal hand sticking up out of the dirt where a street once existed, busy with life and cars and people. But, sadly, no more. The religious extremists backed by followers just shot and killed and blew everything up until NOTHING was left. The old ones say there was a country here once, named PAKISTAN. BUT, no more. They killed each other until they were all gone. Everything gone. People gone, buildings merely rusted hulks. The U.N. cordoned off this entire region and say it will be a museum someday. A MUSEUM TO CHRONICLE WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BUT WILL NEVER BE, DEAD BY HATE. HATE...kills. EVERYTHING in its path. They could have stopped the hate, but did not. They are ALL GONE NOW. The children. WHAT became of the children? FOR GOD'S SAKE, WHAT BECAME OF THE CHILDREN?

THE FORUM: A GLIMMER OF HOPE

       HOPE

Some of you are American. Some maybe German. Some Afghan. It doesn't matter. The focus right now is Pakistan but Human Rights abuses affect us all. Today, we start to think about how to help Pakistan, tomorrow Afghanistan and onward
