100,000 Protestors... Angry mobs of students...

[scaeagles]

I thought you "tens of millions" number was just meaning a large number.

Let's say there are 30 million people in the US taking part in prostitution. I'm figuring that's pretty inflated. That's only 10 percent of the population. I would figure that there was a much higher percentage of slave owning households in the south, and pro-nazis in Germany, and machete wielding genociders in Rwanda. Whether there were (or are) tens of millions is doubtful simply due to the sizes of the populations.

I have heard the man in Afghanistan has been freed and he is in the process of trying to gain assylum in a European nation. Understandable, as I would figure he's a dead man in Afghanistan.

As far as the Afghani society, I do NOT think we have the right to tell them to change. However, political and diplomatic pressure is an every day part of international relations, so I think the efforts of our government (and various other governments) are fine.
