Exposing Rights

An international conference opens today in Kabul.
It provoked much discussion - including an interview with Britain's Foreign Secretary, William Hague - on BBC Radio 4's "Today".
But there was no mention of Al-Qaeda! Whose presence was the reason for NATO's intervention.
Britain wants to talk to the Taliban. But Hilary Clinton doesn't - because of "women's rights".
322 British troops have died in Afghanistan. (And many more wounded.)
"Everyone's right to life" is protected under Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
