For anyone following the story of the Sudan Journalist arrested for wearing pants, (yes, for wearing pants) and who faced the possibility of being imprisoned and given 40 lashes, this particular story has had a happy ending. But what about those who don't make the headlines? What about those women who are persecuted every day in these sadistic, backwards countries? Where is the outrage from women's groups in this country, from the lesbian community, from the Obama administration and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? In the 21st Century, this behavior is unacceptable. You can call it whatever you want, religion, tradition, etc., but it is what it is.....a disgrace and this administration should be the first to stand up and make it publicly known that if this practice continues, this country will not tolerate it and sanctions should be implemented against those countries condoning such actions.
