A Good Week

In a time when Pakistan is becoming the heart of the problems of the world & not just India's, today was a good day for them in a long long time. Finally the Judiciary has emerged victorious. The reinstatement of deposed Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry comes as a light of hope in the midst of one bad news after another. I heard a brief story about Chaudhary on NPR today & it was inspiring. Hailing from a small village, he is the 1st Judge to stand up against the Pakistan Military. I'm reading the biography of a Mexican Mafia Hitman Rene 'Boxer' Enriquez right now. And one Aztec Mafia Member quotes an ancient Chinese proverb to Boxer in the jail -
If you stand long enought by the river, you will see the bodies of your enemies float by.
I think Chaudhary is experiencing just that. He is my new hero.

And of course Jon Stewart.
