Work in Progress: Speaking of fundamentalism, I'm still amazed by the things I read about what's going on in the Middle East. Here's a story about a young woman who is killed for adultery in Afghanistan. What's even more amazing is that her family is happy that she's dead, for she dishonored them.

We're not going to be able to change the culture of that region overnight, nor do I suppose we really should. But spreading the ideas of freedom will help protect ourselves from fanaticism, as well as protect future women like this.
