"Girls as young as 3 forced into often abusive engagements."

I put this on Flame for two reasons. First, I'm using it as a comment on the hypocrisy of Rightists, who went to war against Afghanistan 6 (six) years ago with the largest military power in the world partially, as they said, for women's rights. The Taliban was hell on women's rights, and we were going to correct that. 6 (six) years ago.

And secondly, if this were an article on Iran, I am positive the Rightists would be all over it, with the same propaganda they used regarding women's rights in Afghanistan.

Six years in Afghanistan should be enough to teach any intelligent country that they are NOT going to conquer it.

Especially not Bush, whose record as a CinC is so bad it's not possible to really describe.
