Is this where we stand and applaud loudly, bravo Yoshie how profound,.
So we are to wake up to the plight of the Afghan and Iraqi women,? the
American male doesn't even understand the American woman and I haven't heard
the man on the street telling me about going into Iraq to save them Iraqi
women.
What about the Mexican woman , when do we start understanding her, when we
give mexicans equal but seperate ?
You know it's only fairly recently that the police have been taking more
aggresive action in domestic disputes, there is still a vast unwashed public
out there that believes a wife owes her husband sex and deserves a beating
for being lippy.
the wake up call that needs to be heeded is that we are no better than the
'heathen' we oppose.
Four thousand murdered at Dasht Leile with american complicity , torture in
Gitmo and everywhere else, Bush and Rumsfeld have shown themselves no better
than Saddam, they have reacted to threat in the same way.
It's not about reducing Muslim women it's about reducing all people.
