In Afghanistan, women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.
Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women seem to, and are happy to maintain the old custom.
A Westerner approached one of the Afghani women and asked, 'Why do you seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?'
The woman without hesitation said,"Land Mines!"
