I hope you will read up on the situation of the women in Afghanistan - you don't have to see the documentaries. It is horrific beyond all imagination what they are, and have been, subjected to under the Taliban. Much information has been out there for a number of years now - this didn't just start as an issue yesterday to somehow discredit the Taliban. They have no good days. Kakki
