OK, I'm not a libertarian and I don't smoke anything.
But, that aside, let's hear your framework for a world in which the nature of the marital relation in the Hindu Kush is under the supervision and control of the United States of America (a land, by the way, where the marital relation is not in such great shape).
Do you think every village in Afghanistan should have an American governor? Do you think that governor should have armed forces to enforce his will?
My congressthing actually WENT to Afghanistan last summer to instruct them in proper relations between the sexes. So, I suppose you are not alone in your beliefs.
But, how a government of limited powers can marshal an Army of sufficient size to conquer the planet and then to forcibly alter the most fundamental aspects of the private lives of EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING ON EARTH is, to me, a bit of a problem.
But, you're the guy who finds my post asinine, so, let's hear your ideas about how to reorganize the private lives of Pashtuns.
The Church should be sending missionaries these countries to civilize them. Instead, it is doing other things.

After seeing the movie "The Hurt Locker", I said outloud: "We will never be able to westernize the Middle East (the years it would take to teach them about abortion on demand and gay pride parades).
Puns aside, there is a difference between "westernize" and "civilize". While it's obvious we can't do the first, the latter is possible (let's start with the "extermination" of one helluvalot of guys that cut noses off of innocent women).
With comments like you made in your intial post, I think a good dose of Sunday School classes is in order for you Jim.
