"KABUL, Afghanistan -- Qamar laughed bitterly at the idea of International Women's Day, as if it were a cruel joke.

As a woman encouraged by relatives to marry her stalker -- who was 20 years her senior, had three other wives and now beats her regularly -- Qamar found it preposterous that anyone would ever celebrate her existence.

"No one will bring me flowers. My husband won't even bring me a stone," Qamar, 45, said with a cynical smile as she recounted her woes. "March 8th is for foreigners because they have good lives. I don't know anything about March 8th."

Really sad.

"Five years of presidential overreaching and Congressional collaboration continue to exact a high toll in human lives, America's global reputation and the architecture of democracy. Brutality toward prisoners, and the denial of their human rights, have been institutionalized; unlawful spying on Americans continues; and the courts are being closed to legal challenges of these practices."

Wow. So Republicans not so much into Lincoln, huh?
