Publisher Description

Nothing more poignantly illustrates the dilemma of American feminists opposed to the war in Afghanistan than the shocking picture on the July 29, 2010 cover of Time Magazine of a young, beautiful Afghan woman with her nose cut off. Beneath the cover runs the defiant headline, "What Happens if We Leave Afghanistan?," igniting a debate that persists to this day. Eighteen year old Aisha was mutilated by a Taliban commander for trying to escape her abusive in-laws. She apparently agreed to pose for the picture if her image could serve as a warning about the dangers of the Afghan government reaching "some kind of political accommodation with the Taliban." How, she asks, "can we reconcile with them" when 'they are the people that did this to me?'" Time's underlying message: U.S. troops are needed to protect Afghan women.
