#1 Lashkar Gah is in the heart of Taliban country, as I understand it. I suspect both this idea of justice and the Taliban support are the result of the dominance in the area of a harsh strain of Islam. I doubt there is an acceptable solution.

#2 Playing "punish the victim" seems to be a popular sport in many Muslum countries, not just Afghanistan.

#3 That's nothing compared to what women in the USA have to endure. Did you know that you can't even have a partial birth abortion in most places anymore. Its medieval, a total outrage! And to make it worse, you may even have to put up with "suggestive looks", which until recently I didn't even realize was sexual harassment. But apparently women all over the country have to languish as men LOOK at them. Awful, just awful. Thank your lucky stars girls, that you don't have to face that on a daily basis.

#4 Lies. That couldn't happen in a country supported by the Amerikan people. Amerikans only support kind and decent countries like Saudi Arabia.
