The one woman in Afghanistan's version of "American Idol" was voted off the show this past week, coming in third place. This is an amazing feat for a woman in a country where they are forced to be conservative and subservient to men. Lima Sahar was just glad that she brought some music to a nation dominated by war and grief. Her appearance on the show made great strides for women's rights there; the fact that she was given so much support and attention is a great sign.
I checked on YouTube, but I couldn't find any clips of Lima's singing. Perhaps, if I wait a little longer someone will post it online. For now I will just stick to watching American Idol.
