Tell me again how this woman’s suffering doesn’t matter.
Incredibly powerful interview with @sahraakarimi in Afghanistan this morning on @BBCRadioScot - I've taken this excerpt below because it is so brutally honest and from the heart, but please do go listen to the whole thing. @Fionasstalker

Such a fcking garbage receptacle for propaganda! What has the US done for the past 20 years to relieve anybody's suffering? WARS CREATE SUFFERING! Why aren't you screaming that we need to occupy & rape Saudi Arabia & every other country in the world where women are suffering?

Her suffering matters. Our superior air power and high priced mercenaries aren’t going to help her. The Pentagon won’t help her. The CIA won’t help her. Military occupation won’t help her. She’d of probably been fine if we hadn’t of invaded, occupied and destroyed her country.

Tell me again how more US imperialism is going to help her. The US is responsible for generations of atrocities against the Afghan people and people around the world. Hello??

If the US has the ability to spend trillions on a 20-year-old war then it also has the full capability of taking in those "thousands and thousands of young women".

Your justifications for the continued illegal military occupation are no different than those before; that the cause is humanitarian, complicated and those who oppose it are unsympathetic morons. Picking out examples of suffering in targeted countries is easy when US caused it

This woman says we failed the women of her country and did nothing for them for the past 20 years. "We talked to you, we demanded, we asked. We did everything and nobody paid any attention"
Must watch interview with Mahbooba Seraj the founder of the Afghan Women’s Network
