[News] Afghanistan's Not-So-Giant Leap for Womankind

After reading Gayle Tzemach Lemmon's article in the Huffington Post about the recent ABC News poll in Afghanistan, I'm not left amazed or flabbergasted. I'm just scratching my head.

See, I had read this article in the San Francisco Chronicle in September, and I find it hard to believe that the ABC News poll reflects any substantial change in the way women are treated in certain areas and by certain groups in the Middle East. Maybe people think women have a chance at equality, but that means very little will ever be done about it.
