As much as I find this practice repulsive and barbaric, I am leery of criticizing the systems of other nations. Especially when we're not exactly beyond reproach, here.

It saddens me, but it is what it is. The practice is not new, and I can only assume these women (and men!) knew the risks.

Maybe that makes me coldhearted b*stard, but I have to stay consistent with my policy of non-interference. The whole world does not have to emulate America or our values. So, I'll have to say "just another way", unfortunate as it is.
