Re the Afghanistan acid attack. The kind of country where this can happen and be thought commonplace is irredeemable. The West's good intentions cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Leave Muslims to kill and torture each other as is their wont. Stop giving them western targets in addition.
On acid attacks:
Saving Face
This will have you in tears
