Not surprised sadly. That country is regressing.

In a post yesterday I remarked that our country was, for the most part, law abiding. I also said that lawlessness existed in some places...and my example was Afghanistan.

The lawlessness there hasn't much to do with their faith or with their economy, but it has to do with the structure of their government, their laws and their family clans.

It is an abysmally sad situation for all, especially for the weaker members of the society. That would be the poorer families and the families with the least amount of status. It doesn't have much to do with women, per se because their status is inexorably linked to their family.

I personally think it was a horrendously bad idea to send a female media member to that country. It is hopelessly lawless.

The folks who sent her had to be aware of the misogynist attitude of too many people over there. That attitude can be strong in both genders.

Her bosses seemed to have no idea whatsoever that their female reporter would have any problems, which shows their abysmal ignorance of Afghanistan society.

My prayers are for the dead journalist and the family.

The phrase “Being at the wrong place at the wrong time” refers to ever being anyplace in Afghanistan.

More Moslem heroics.

End of story.

It is interesting that the only thing the US has accomplished in Afghanistan is to compile the execution list for the incoming government.
