Cultural Sex or Child Abuse
Documents released by WikiLeaks bring to the forefront a double standard in Afghanistan, men may have sexual relations with young boys but not adult men. Not that I condone either, however when one is morally wrong shouldn't both be. What is our military to do? Pedophilia is a crime in the US, UK, and most western countries. Do we enforce our laws on the people we are helping or let them continue to practice their culture? Being a native Hawaiian and an American I can see it both ways.
Due to the Missionaries that came to Hawaii in the 1780's, many cultural changes happened, some good and some bad. As an American seeing what was happening in Hawaii in the 1780's, I would have be horrified by some of the laws and social norms.
So what is the best way to deal with this problem? I am not sure. My biggest concern is the well being of the young male children being used for sex by the older men. If we are to help them that needs to stop. How to do it without creating a cultural backlash is the problem. If the Afghans haven't figured out that homosexuality with boys is the same as with adults, there may be nothing to change that belief.

Don't Mess With The Internet
Most Hackers do not steal data for profit, destroy networks for financial gain, or do anything to cause problems. Most hackers work to improve the environment that they work in, the wold of ones and zeros. They are the people leading the charge in developing most of the shareware or freeware on the net. Open Source products abound and are at times better than commercial products you can buy. I wounder who created most of the Open Source Products?
Call your Senator and Representative and tell them to vote no on Net Neutrality. Also tell the UN to stay out of the Internet.
