President Karzai shows some signs of retreat

A few days ago, I wrote a post about President Karzai of Afghanistan, who had effectively legalised husbands to rape their wives. Following strong pressure from Nato and President Obama, according to the BBC, the Afghan President has announced he is 'reviewing' the law. Nato Allies, should demand immediate repeal, otherwise forgo assistance to Mr Karzai. Afghanistan must not be allowed to return to the medieval Islamism of the Taliban.
