CNN.com: Sahar Saba: Women's rights in post-Taliban Afghanistan

If the issue of women's rights in Afghanistan needs to be forefront on people's minds, then I would rather hear it from people like Sahar Saba, an actual Afghani woman, than The First Ladies of the Privileged Western World.

The women of Afghanistan don't need Mrs. Bush or Mrs. Blair to speak for them. They might need them to get the attention of the western masses, but that's another issue altogether.
