Pamela Domínguez _amela_ominguez — Takes forever to get to the point!

Inez Schuitema inezschuitema — Want an alternate view of how to build peace in Pakistan and Afghanistan? You'll find it here, although you'll have to wade through a lot to discover the full and very worthy tale. The telling of it, unfortunately, proves its greatest weakness, as does its apparent effort to serve as a fundraiser and application for the Nobel Peace Prize for Greg Mortenson. After the "Into Thin Air" beginning, the story and the schools build slowly through a fairly consistent middle, then the account starts to rush before it finally corkscrews through 9/11 into Afghanistan. I won't list examples or explain further what I mean, and so dwell on the poor writing. My purpose in mentioning these weaknesses is to acknowledge a wistfulness for a better vehicle for such a worthy tale and to say, yes, readers will encounter some rough patches, but don't, don't, don't let it stop you from finishing the story. The reward--a sense of greater insight and compassion for some areas of the world badly in need of both from the Western world, especially the US, could not be more timely. And as much as I bemoan its overt attempts at self-glorification, I do hope it succeeds in encouraging people to contribute to a different approach to relating to the Muslim world.
