The Afghan elections are taking place later this week, and one assumes the NATO troops are there to try and help usher in a new democratic society and help protect it in its development. I was never in favour of the invasion and struggle to see why we still have troops there - especially as the death toll is now over 200. Over the weekend I read the President Hamid Karzai has supported a law that allows men to starve their wives if they refuse sex - really why are we supporting this madness?
