When I first saw the headline about Karzai pardoning a rape victim serving a 12 year prison term for “committing” adultery, I said to myself: “Now there’s an act of courage by an enlightened leader determined to lead his country boldly into the 19th century.”  

But then my high hopes for a progressive  Afghanistan were dashed after learning the pardon was conditioned upon the victim agreeing to marry her attacker…

Would someone please remind me again what are exit strategy is in Afghanistan?
