How can Barack Obama want to continue to send more troops to Afghanistan when Afghan society is so discriminatory to women? Obama wants to root out the Taliban and Al Qaeda but it seems that members of those groups are part and parcel of Afghan society. The recent You-Tube video of a young girl being flogged in Pakistan's Waziristan area shows how deeply embedded the discrimination is. Furthermore even those who are not Taliban or Al Qaeda seem to prefer a society where a woman is totally subjugated to her husband and cannot leave the home without permission.
