...Bhutto's return to Pakistan was regarded by many as the force needed to bring Pakistan back to the path of democracy. The sad truth is, there is nothing democratic about Pakistan's so-called democratic parties.

"Rare" speaks to a more widely acknowledged recognition that for many people the decision to end a pregnancy comes at a cost...
When Hillary Clinton won - with the unanimous support of the cocktail waitress lobby - her supporters went insane. They immediately turned and faced the Obama supporters on the other side of the room, un-Iowanly pushing their signs at their sad faces and taunting them with chants as they stormed out of the room while the woman conducting the caucus was still talking on the stage.
