HRm. On one hand, I respect such bravery... on the other hand I just don't know what can be accomplished by one person in this case.

Anyone interested in the attempted derail can consult the "Not again damnit" thread in the locked box.

That said I've got to say it takes one person to stand up in the first place. She's aware she's painting a target on herself, but if no one tells these idiots to fuck off they'll never get the message.

Actually I think that being one of the first female politicians in Afghanistan she is already an example to young Afghani women, by running for president she is a proof that women are willing to use the rights they have. I believe she can be a proof of changing Afghanistan wether she wins or not.

Also, can we get a ninja death squad to ensure that anyone who so much as looks at her funny goes up in a fountain of finely minced body parts?

The basic unit of a political/social movement is the single person, motivated to action.

This woman has officially elevated herself up to where Sandman (may he be making Oberon miserable) resides in my respect level.  Holy hell, that's awesome.

In the 19th and early 20th centurys afghani women often led their tribes, and fought several british invasions to  standstill. They organized a number of short lived talibans that defnded afghani rights over british colonial interests.
It is only since the late 1980s that the whabbi have reduced afghani women to breeding stock, creating a taliban of their own.
