  1. It is despicable and shameful to read that the barbaric minded terrorists continue to target schools in their attempts to sabotage peace and spread chaos and mayhem throughout the region. The terrorists should be well aware that these cowardly acts of terror have repeatedly failed to discourage people from taking a stance against terrorism. In fact, the horrific and inhumane attack on the Army public School in Peshawar on December 16th has only united the nation. The people of Pakistan have simply refused to bow down to terrorism, and the support for children’s right to education can be seen worldwide. Our officials from highest level have also vowed to work together to curb the menace of terrorism. We stand with the nation of Pakistan during these testing times, and it is our wish and desire to see peace prevail throughout the region, especially Pakistan.
