Dear Afghanistan

On behalf of the "coalition of the willing", we haven't spent the last 4 years and several hundred million bucks so you can pull this sort of stupid stuff. I really don't care that you take conversion away from islam as insulting your flying spaghetti monster (peace be upon him). Religion doesn't matter enough to execute someone. Grow up and join the 21st century, or at least the 18th..

Regards,
Us.

Yeah, it's almost as stupid as thinking you can effect revolutionary cultural change with several hundred million bucks ... maybe we need to update our ideas as well, even if they may be a few hundred years less obsolete according to some ideologically determined timeline of cultural advancement which is probably highly offensive to any non-Westerners in the audience, but which all of us Westerners nevertheless secretly believe to be valid as we, sotto voce, exhort the principles of the Enlightenment :-)

But where is the point of our enlightenment if we cannot exhalt its wonders to others. Why should we, the enlightened, stand back as we watch the uninformed act barbarically :)
