It's the kind of democracy Sen. Santorum wants to provide for us.

From the Times of London:

AFGHANISTAN'S notorious Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, which was set up by the Taliban to enforce bans on women doing anything from working to wearing nail varnish or laughing out loud, is to be re-created by the government in Kabul.

[...]

"In my opinion what we have in power under the mask of democracy are the brothers of Taliban--fundamentalists, warlords and drug lords," she added. "Our country is under the shadow of their black hands. They are against women and re-creating the [department] is proof of this."
