I don't know if this is true but I though Aplomb and Sis would enjoy,


Barbara Walters, of 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul ,

Afghanistan , several years before the Afghan conflict.

She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.



She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk

Behind their husbands. Despite the overthrow of the oppressive

Taliban regime, the women now seem to, and are happy to, maintain the

Old custom..



Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, 'Why do

You now seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so

Desperately to change?'



The woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without

Hesitation said, 'Land Mines.'



Moral of the story is (no matter what language you speak or where

You go):





BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE'S A SMART WOMAN
