And It's One, Two, Three What Are We Fightin' For?

Apparently, we're fighting for this (from Reuters):

Engaged to an older man who had offered $5,000 to her father but in love with a boy she spoke to on the phone, the 16-year-old girl was hauled before a court that found her guilty of running away from home, according to an account she provided.

"I was engaged to an older man and I was not happy. He was painting his beard black," said the girl, who cannot be named because of rules protecting juvenile detainees.

Now pregnant, she said she did not know who the baby's father was, adding she had slept with both the boy she was in love with and the man she was engaged to. She also said she had been raped while in detention before being sent to the Kabul facility. The girl's story offers a glimpse into the nature of Afghanistan's rudimentary justice system, underscoring the uphill task ahead as U.S. President Barack Obama calls for improving the rule of law to match military gains in the country...

A question we might pose: What good is "improving the rule of law" when the rule of law is sharia?

Update: Sorry, couldn't resist:

Well, come on all you Afghan guys
Gen. McChrystal is really wise.
Wants to woo your body parts--
Winnin' minds and winnin' hearts.
You know there's only one li'l flaw--
He's doin' it for sha-ree-ah.
And it's one, two three,
What are we fightin' for?
Might be a strategic flaw
If it's for sharia law.
And it's five, six, seven,
Pavin' our own road to Hell.
Well, it's high time that we ask ourselves
Why they'd be sidin' with the infidel?...
