You bitch about "rape" like it's a bad thing.

Refresh my memory -- why exactly are we in Afghanistan again?

Afghan leader accused of bid to 'legalise rape'

Afghanistan's President, Hamid Karzai, has signed a law which "legalises" rape, women's groups and the United Nations warn. Critics claim the president helped rush the bill through parliament in a bid to appease Islamic fundamentalists ahead of elections in August.

In a massive blow for women's rights, the new Shia Family Law negates the need for sexual consent between married couples, tacitly approves child marriage and restricts a woman's right to leave the home, according to UN papers seen by The Independent.

I'd ask Stephen Taylor's Blogging Tories what they think of this exciting new political development, but they're kind of occupied "defending" free speech while simultaneously shrieking about George Galloway, so their schedules are a bit full.

P.S. I'd ask Blogging Tory co-founder and Manning Centre for Building Democracy's Stephen Taylor himself about this novel experiment in Afghan "democracy" but, last time I looked, Stephen was just crazy busy pressing the flesh and eating well:


Sure, Afghan women being raped sucks, but there's an open bar and Stephen always understands his priorities.

P.P.S. Wouldn't it be great fun to check in occasionally on Stephen Taylor and his stable of intellectual cripples Blogging Tories and see if anyone there gets even the littlest bit outraged by this development? After all, they're all such fans of (other) Canadians fighting and dying over there. Perhaps it's time for those folks to take a public stand and defend what our military is dying for -- the right for Afghan men to rape their wives.

Yeah, let's see if anyone over there in Wankerville can remove their nose from Ezra Levant's asscrack long enough to stand up for the chicks.

I don't plan on being optimistic.
