Pretty, Pretty Please Mr. Karzai!

Please, please Mr. Karzai, try to understand us. We want to be friends with you and get along okay with all those mean mean brothers of yours.

Unfortunately, raping women and locking them up doesn’t go over well with our constituents. Our fault, I know. The world is just so much more complicated ever since countries like ours decided to treat women more like human beings instead of cattle. But, you know, they really are kind of human, because they can actually say “NO!”

It is complicated and you surely have loads of interests to consider that are more urgent than the rights of those unfortunate few who agree to a forced marriage.

Hmm...well, anyway, some people we know are really upset about reintroducing rape in marriage, and we are having a hard time keeping them quiet. I know, it usually blows over in a couple of weeks, but it would be really kind of you if...

Please!
