What a fucking joke.

I particularly agree with these comments:

"Oh, and women being patient is what got them into this mess. Sadly, but truly, if they took to guns, they might get somewhere. Anything less in a society like that which only seems to respect violence and thuggery and they'll be doormats for another hundred generations."

"My goodness, what an uncivilized cultural shit-hole Afghanistan has become. Why the hell are we still there? Our soldiers dying, and for what? This?"

"These laws are like demented teenage fantasy. The men, almost laughable in their insecurity. But disgusting."

It's staggering how we are allowing this to happen. Afghanistan is a boil in the arsecrack of the world. They simply cannot be trusted to govern themselves as long as they insist on adhering to this medieval, barbaric cultural heritage. Let them tear themselves to pieces if that's what they want. Fuck. Them.
