I don't dis-agree with you, I think it's absurd... I really do.. I'm not some crazy guy that supports this.
But many people (including women) are not opposed to it and consider it a very important part of their culture. Is it right for us to judge them based on our societal standards? Would it be right for us to come from over-sea's and say... no... no you can't... its wrong... when clearly we're two different worlds... two different societies.... This is an extreme case, and hence the reason I brought it up, because it raises the moral questions of our responsibilites to influence the world abroad.
Where do we draw the line and say... Sorry you can't do that. We may think it's the right thing to go over and free these people. But at what cost? If we have muslim extremist trying to blow up our NFL stadiums mabye it's not our place.
We just have to realize imposing our belief and culture on another one comes at a huge price... and if you ask the victims of 911... they may want to institute a policy change.
