Why - her plight is repeated in urban America everyday, on thousands of girls? SF Bay area cities are riddled with underage prostitutes who have been forced into the life.

It appears the insane war in Afghanistan may have successfully "Americanized" the region. Corrupt gov't and now this...

I agree. If we can't fix the place, we should just pull out. Then, nuke it from orbit and make sure it can never be used as a terrorist haven again.

hey, Skirt--the USA has all sorts of criminal activity, but it isn't engrained into our culture to force marriage, prostitution, deprivation of medical care and basic rights to women. We don't have a custom called "baad" like many Afghan Pashtos have of giving a girl as a settlement for disputes, so she can be a slave for her lifetime. Any thinking person with an IQ over 10 can tell the difference between the USA & Afghanistan. Why don't YOU go live in that paradise called Afghanistan if it is sooooo wonderful???
