This was what I was going to mention, and I wholeheartedly agree that we as Canadians, need to contact our representatives to put pressure on our government to help reverse or change these laws passed in Afghanistan. It's absolutely abhorrent that this is happening under the Western world's supposedly mindful and dutiful eye.
On a side note, someone mentioned it in another thread, and I am beginning to notice a common theme against some organized religions in your threads. Not that I care for organized religion, but some of your posts rather peculiarly relate to the crux of the issues under scope. Just saying.
