    A heartwarming story of the advances women have made in achieving equality throughout the world.

    Barbara Walters did a story on gender roles in Kabul several years before the Afghan conflict.

    She noted that women customarily walked about 10 paces behind their husbands.

    She returned to Kabul recently and observed that the men now walk several paces behind their wives.

    Ms.Walters approached one of the Afghani women and said, "This is marvellous. Can you tell the free world just what enabled women to achieve this breakthrough in terms of role reversal?"

    "Land mines," said the woman.
