I, kindly, ask Americans to respect other cultures. Noone has any right to condemn the practice of marrying child brides in Afghnistan just like the US does not have any right to invade and impose a form of government in that country. Americans must remember that the US was originally founded by people who were looking for a place to be free from religious prosecution. Unfortunately and sadly, Americans are now exporting a very different concept of "liberty and justice" to other countries. It is a sick and corrupt concept and Afghanistan should not tolerate such an imposition on their culture and country. I fully respect marriage of children and adolescents to older men who will protect them and take care of them during their life. Just think about the high divorce rates in the US because americans are still so primitive as to believe they MUST marry a person of the same age. To me, that's like thinking I should marry someone that has the same hair color as me or the same car, etc. It's an aberration from an aberrated system that has turned into an aberrated society but STILL, I respect their aberrated ways and wish americans someday can learn to tolerate other customs and respect the people in the world. When that happens, the world will be in peace.
