The Afghan situation gets worse by the day. Yesterday a man and a woman were executed on the street for "immoral acts". Today a group of 300 women protesting the recent law forbidding women to refuse their husbands and to leave the house without his permission, were pelted with stones by men and women, shouting "death to the slaves of the Christians". So, at the risk of being tiresome, please tell me once again why our soldiers are fighting and dying for these savages and religious retards. We're trying to drag them into the 21st century, but first maybe we should be coaxing them into the 17th, then the 18th and take it from there. Our own Christians behaved this way in the Middle Ages, so Islam is merely 800 years behind. They'll catch up. Just be patient.
