Campaign for Peace and Democracy's unpublished letter to The New York Times 
on Afghan women and the war. 10/25/10

I stopped reading at this point. What follows is certain to be painfullll,
since there can be no combination of peace and democracy in Afghanistan. One
can have _both_ war and tyranny, or one can have tyranny and peace. Hopes
for peace and democracy under present conditions is an excellent example of
sandbox bolitics: pundits moving political forces around in their brain as
though those forces were cardboard cows and barns in a sandbox.
