What is the point of the Afghan surge if their government allows women to be raped by their husbands. Is this what we are fighting for? If so I am not for helping these people.

Silence Meets Despair of Afghan Women

That was then. This is now: Afghan President Hamid Karzai has just signed a law that forces women to obey their husbands’ sexual demands, keeps women from leaving the house — even for work or school — without a husband’s permission, automatically grants child custody rights to fathers and grandfathers before mothers, and favors men in inheritance disputes and other legal matters. In short, the law again consigns Afghan women to lives of brutal repression.

We wasted American lives for this?  I thought Obama, who is a Progressive, believes in Women’s rights?  Where is Hillary on this? This is another example of the hypocrisy of the Left.  They will sell out their own beliefs to appease Islam.  It is time to leave Afghanistan, let the Taliban have it.  The people there want them.  I say we just firebomb for every terror attack.  Terror should be met with Terror.  Not invading and setting  up democracies.  America needs to stop helping Muslims; screw them, and let them help themselves.
