Afghanistan is not an Arab country, and has a large, educated expatriate population. It is also, for the most part, a tribal society. The women of Afghanistan are probably the most enthusiastic supporters of political reforms because they were so totally oppressed, by the Taliban fundamentalist Islamo-Fascists, in every way, sexually, educationally, politically, economically ...

However, don't be lulled into believing that the transformation of Afghani society will be easy or is destined for success. The country is still for the most part run by competing warlords, Taliban supporters have not left, Iran and anti-Musharef Pak elements are committed to bringing down Karzai and destroying the new Afghan government. Nonetheless, there appears to be a substantial portion of the population which is enormously relieved by their deliverance from the totalitarian terror regime of the Religious Fascists who long for the day when sports stadiums no longer host soccer matches but hangings and beheadings, when women are restored to their proper role as slaves ... I hope for the best but the contest isn't over.
