KRISTOFF: "...The world lost Rosa Parks last month, but Mukhtaran is a Rosa Parks for the new century: a woman simultaneously ordinary and extraordinary, who transcended her role and started a broad movement for justice.

I hope that we’ll follow her, and that the U.S. will align itself with real Pakistani leaders like her...."
