I just watched this disturbing video on recent attacks on Afghan schools. These attacks are nothing new, the education of youth, and especially girls, is seen as a threat to theocratic rule.

It was accompanied by the words of Afghan human rights activist and government official Ranna Tareen on the violence carried out on prominent Afghan women. “I see my death too. What annoys me is to see no one cares about it.”

What saddens me most is that she feels all alone. How about we deploy our soldiers to protect these women of note while they attempt to change their country?
