This war is not about democracy.Islamic religion is totally incompatible with anything that is related to women's equality.

Last year a young man who downloaded material about women's rights was sentenced to death by Karzai's courts.After worldwide condemnation his sentence was reduced to 20 years imprisonment.

Last week the same Afgan goverment passed a law permitting husbands to starve their wives to death if they refused to consent to sex.The maximum time limit allowed women to abstain from sex was 4 days.

They also passed another law which forbids women of engaging in employment without their husbands approval.

Human rights include women's rights.
