Beyond my own imagination for cruelty
The Taliban have extended their campaign into Pakistan proper, announcing they will kill girls attending school.
Progressives everywhere: You keep telling us you oppose military action under almost any circumstance and, in practice, see any American military intervention as imperialism. Your new President has made plenty of noise about Pakistan, including specific noises about an overland invasion from Afghanistan. Let's assume (quite safely in my opinion) this approach is a non-starter.
Fine. Now is your chance. Use all your soft power might to protect the rights of women and specifically the rights of Pakistani girls to an eduction. Go!
Later: No, seriously. Do something. Tell me what you are doing. I will help in whatever way I can.
Much later: Kind of assuming you don't actually give a damn about Pakistani girls and could do nothing about the situation even if you did.

One might hurt feelings if one isn't careful. Can't have that. Feelings are important.

Exactly. There are critical self-esteem issues in play as well.
