Bacha Bazi
       After reading this article I am appalled to find out that these type of things happen in that culture. It is shocking to say the least. For Bacha Bazi to be acceptable in their culture is absolutely unacceptable. These children are forced to do these unmoral and terrible acts at the threat of death. The worse part about this is the fact that the people do it...... are the people who are supposed to be protecting them from harm. It's kind of easy to see the irony in this situation. To think the troops are just supposed to stand by and watch is terrible to say the least. Their jobs are at stake if they intervene. It is just sickening.

     We have to keep in mind that this is their culture. That means we need to practice sociological mindfulness. We need to put ourselves in their shoes. That doesn't make this okay! Although this has been practiced for years, this doesn't make it acceptable in todays culture. This culture has practices that are out of date! To think that they are still allowed to do this is awful. Those people have been doing this for centuries. They don't want our culture but they want our help fighting the terrorists. The difficult part is if we leave this will continue on because its part of the culture. And no civilization wants to change its culture.
