The thing is, although Canadian women don't set themselves on fire to get out of marriages, they commit suicide using other methods. Yes, we can say that Canada is humane, but we cannot say that women don't kill themselves to get out of a bad relationship, with or without divorce laws. I suppose gasoline is easy to come by in Afghan as opposed to sleeping pills. Yes, let's not bring them here in case this practice catches on here too!

You know trhe vicious cycle you perpetrate. The more you deny and abuse women the worse you feel. The worse you feel the more you deny and abuse women- to make yourselves feel more powerful- but you are insignificant worms - you- who prey on and deny women their lives-you deny the very ones who give you life - who create, feed and nurture you - into the horrible oppressors you are - santimonious despots - shame on you.

The Afghan government might do what the Taliban do to women; throw acid in their face, stone them to death, keep them covered and in houses for life. Wait a minute, why is turning them over a bad idea? Isn't it just terrible that we turn over captured Taliban to the Afghan government.
