Afghanistan’s new “women are sexual property” law? The one that President Hamid Karzai claims in no way restricts women’s rights?
Well, it’s anti-Shi’ite as well as anti-woman.
It applies to them only, and gives Shi’ite clerics absolute control over women.
Now, I look fairly askance on nation-building, but, on the other hand, propping up the Mayor of Kabul much longer is ridiculous.
Especially since the law is an election-time pander for Shi’ite voters – and Shi’ite clerics in Afghanistan are strongly influenced by those in Iran, we need to ease Herr Karzai out of power, now.
