    First thought: Wow, that's a gorgeous picture. The yellow really pops.

    Second thought: Huh. I wonder if the state of the poster is meta-commentary on the potential length of Karzai's political career. #afghanistanelection

    She's probably not elderly. She's probably in her 40s or 50s. A lot of women don't really get to "elderly" there.

    .... ugh, the bottom of the image got cut off! Niqab & Burqa are full-length, and Hijab is just around the neck.

    In reply to President Karzai Reverses Marital Rape Law
    Karzai told CNN's Fareed Zakaria that he and others were unaware of the provision in the legislation, which he said "has so many articles."


    'OOh, gee! LAWS have so many ARTICLES, my poor eyes get so tired from reading them! Tra la!"

    I'm glad it was reversed but it's not like the men are going to be punished for raping their wives from here on out. Are they really going to prosecute men for raping their wives now? Doubtful.

    In reply to President Karzai Reverses Marital Rape Law
    I understand how a lot of previous commenters feel like there should be no recognition/praise of Karzai for this. I do understand. The law should never have been passed in the first place, and should never have been defended. However, I remember my Psych class teaching me about reinforcement principles and conditioning, and as I understood it is important to acknowledge positive behaviours. We understand this with our dogs, we understand this with our children. It is also true for human adults, I think.


    So, good for you, sir, for realizing that you did a very bad, very hurtful thing and taking steps to undo it.

    I don't like Karzai, but his chances of getting elected again are nil, because he signed this into law to get shiite support in the election. Now he's on the shit list.

    Not that reversing the official law is going to make it stop happening in an environment where the law seemed at all reasonable in the first place

    Nice try, Karzai. I'm glad to see the law has been reversed, but I still question how it got passed in the first place. *sigh*

    Baby steps, people. Baby steps. I'm not giving Karzai unqualified praise, but this is a step in the right direction- even if it's one that should have had to be taken in the first place.

    @BellaTricks: I'm pissed as hell that the law was even drafted in the first place. And I refuse to praise Karzai for essentially being a coward in every respect.


    But I am happy that the law was rescinded and I am a pragmatist, if nothing else. This situation is better than legalized rape and that is a good thing.

    This is like the legislative equivalent of a non-apology apology. "Sorry we were total misogynistic assholes! We'll just reverse it and pretend there was no real broad anti-woman sentiments in the first place."

    @BellaTricks: Oh yeah, it is better, but I insist on calling a spade a spade in this case. It's not like anyone who supported this law saw the light regarding its immorality.
