If the so-called Afghan democracy is going legislate laws like this perhaps we should just bring the troops home and stop all humanitarian aid and technical assistance. Instead, just send in the engineers to build a wall around the place and let it go to its Islamic hell once and for all:

Karzhai is weak and is trying to shore up his support among harder line Muslims. I agree it seems abhorrent, but do you think anything is being done about it anywhere in Afghanistan anyway?

Harder line Muslims? This law is for the Shia who live in the north. The same who were persecuted under the Taliban. They are the moderates.

Moderate by comparison, perhaps.

Well, why stop there? I say we should bomb them back into the stone age . . . oh, I guess we already did that.

Not even close.

At one point in the future, we will. Most of the West has this silly idea that the good outweighs the bad within the ME muslim world. Whenever people get their back to the wall, and the situation gets truly bad (the ME muslims will be satisfied with only one outcome, and I don't think we will let them have it), we will use superior weapons technology to eradicate the threat.

It's going to be a nasty affair...but that's the way it will end...

Quite possible - unless we capitulate first.

I wish people would really read up on the history, culture, and socio-political history of Afghanistan before they spouted off.
