DART Returns from Pakistan

I read an article on the work of the DART team sent to Pakistan. It contained several surprises as well as some fresh perspectives. It's hard to combine the images that result from the report with all the other stuff coming out of Pakistan. One source of encouragement comes from the Pakistani people who have been assisted by DART. They have responded with thanks and gratitude for the efforts of these men and women. Another source of encouragement has to be the way that at least one of the DART team members described the people they have been assisting. The team member described the Pakistanis as an incredible people demonstrating the amount of respect this man had gained for the people they have been helping. Apparently the image of men killing their wives and children isn't the whole or even more than a small part of the culture. Perhaps there is still hope that Pakistan will start to aggressively prosecute these crimes so that the real gems of the culture can come to the forefront.
