Re: Afghan women in jail for being raped
Suttee was villified by the locals as well as the Brits. As far as I am aware the ways of the Afghans are generally liked by most of those who live there. With the support of the locals and something like 50 years, Suttee was destroyed. With neither the time, the support or the manpower it's a lost cause.

But you are probably right. Containment then. What we need is some sort of local strongman...
