Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Bar of The Islamic Republic of Pakistan,
I am only one humble lawyer, but I salute those of you who have risked your livelihoods, your lives, and most importantly, your liberty, in the protest again the naked attempt to undermine the rule of law in Pakistan.
What paltry information we Americans receive about the situation, claims that in the past there have been questions about the integrity of some members of the Pakistani bar and judiciary. If that is so, after seeing your brave protests in the streets of Islamabad, all is now forgiven and more than forgiven.
I cannot tell you how moving it is to see hundreds, thousands of suited and cravatted lawyers yelling in the streets, arms and faces raised against tyranny. You as attorneys are truly perhaps the last bastion against absolute rule by fiat in your nation.
I only have to ask: what can we as American lawyers do for you????
For us American Lawyers, would we have the courage to do the same??? Our forefathers did, and put their lives and livelihoods similarly on the line.

Good letter! A nasty and flammable situation indeed...
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
let extremists rule
they will drag your country
back to seventh century
absurd thought -
God of the Universe wants
all citizens beheaded
for most petty offenses
let society collapse
absurd thought -
God of the Universe thinks
take all girls out of school
they can not be allowed
to achieve more than a man
