The sexually abused dancing boys of Afghanistan
Someone get David Petraeus on the line; Rustam Qobil might offend the Taliban and endanger the troops.
Almost everyone's attention is focused on a 15-year-old boy. He's dancing for the crowd in a long and shiny woman's dress, his face covered by a red scarf.
He is wearing fake breasts and bells around his ankles. Someone offers him some US dollars and he grabs them with his teeth.
This is an ancient tradition. People call it bachabaze which literally means "playing with boys".

The the Establishment Left, the rights of women and children mean nothing.
