Barbara Walters of 60 Minutes did a story on gender roles in Kabul several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked about 5 paces behind their husbands. Barbara returned to Kabul recently and observed that the women still walked behind their husbands, but now they seemed to walk even further back, and appeared even happy with the old custom. Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, "Why do you now seem happy with this old custom, one that you used to lament and tried to change?" The woman just smiled at her and said, "Land mines."
