That doesn't mean that America is perfect - there are things the United States can do to improve itself. Nevertheless, this Afghan "culture" of marrying off little girls is deplorable.

It's easy to use relativism as an excuse, but anyone who has visited China can tell you that its people have something we don't: a sense of manifest destiny that their country will regain the top spot in the world again. This century will be a Chinese century.

Great find, btw - it's interesting to read how blogging had become so popular in such a short time.
