Schools for girls closed in Swat

While we can't keep fighting endless battles in FATA and the NWFP, how do you deal with people who make things like this happen? They seem to live in a parallel universe, where none of the things which matter to the rest of us, seem to carry importance for them. How do you negotiate with people like this, or try to bring about change? If education is the answer, and dialogue the key to success, then how do you engage these people in meaningful dialogue to allow people to be educated?

This is what makes this problem so difficult.
