In the meantime, Sher emailed us her reactions to the killing, and they perhaps offer a window into the thinking of some young Pakistanis. This is some of what she said:. Guest blogger Sher Bano writes about the sport of Cricket bringing Pakistanis together a few months ago.

Women Campaign for New Plan To Curb the Worlds Population
For decades, when population planners talked about the worlds poorest women, they concentrated on how to keep them from having more babies.
