Barbara Walters of 20/20 (USA-ABC Television) did a story on gender roles
in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict. She
noted that women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.



She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind
their husbands. From Ms. Walters¹s vantage point, despite the overthrow
of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk even further
back behind their husbands 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 the 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."
