Our Afghanistan policy should be based as much on listening to the women of Afghanistan as on listening to foreign policy or military experts. It is they who will suffer most from a Taliban takeover of the country.

How will we get the Afghan men, including the Taliban, to listen to their women?

The Taliban’s violently oppressive attitude toward women isn’t something we can change, but we should be led by a president whose concern for the well-being of Afghani women is a major factor in determining our policies there. We should always bear witness to the agony of others.

Bear witness, my ass! You should be demanding the US immediately, unconditionally withdraw all his troops, mercenaries, CIA, & dope traffickers. Any other position is Islamophobic war mongering. Shame on you.

Yes. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I appreciate that. I think that Bush sincerely wanted to help Afghan women too, but it is so hard to do.
