In anger, I want to say pull out the troops!, but obviously it's an unrealistic assessment. In doing so, you likely not only condone these women to these types of laws, but to famine, death, and much worse.

The Afghan government needs to be pressured into knowing that the only thing holding that place together are foreign lives and blood. This crosses the line. I can understand passing laws with political idea, etc, that go against Western ideas, but when you start to impede basic human rights, that's when it has to stop. That's why we went in there in the first place (besides revenge, of course! ).

Basic human rights are not Western. They're universal.
