In light of the brave struggle of people like Malala, we all
must cherish our hard won rights and freedoms. Perhaps it
is only in the absence of a thing that we learn to appreciate

I recall the lawyers in Pakistan taking to the streets in support
of the rule of law and all of us wondering if we would have
