Afghan Women See Change

From CentCom:

U.S. Soldiers joined Afghan men, women and children at Khost University on March 9 to celebrate International Women’s Day and to promote human rights, including education for girls.

The shura, a formal gathering, included Gov. Merajudin Patan of Khost Province, his deputy and representatives from the Afghan government’s Directorate of Women’s Affairs.
Educating girls can help bring prosperity to Afghanistan, Patan said.

“All of our prophets are sons of women. We are equal in our responsibility to prosper as a culture,” he said, adding, “Half of our community is uneducated. Our only resolve is education for all.”

“If we do not implement these changes, who will? It must start here,” Patan said.

To think it took the military might of the US, and the courage of a Republican president to bring it about. Can't figure why the Left isn't behind this milestone in Women's Lib.
