Maybe not anymore. You are so totally right about what war- ANY war does to women and children. when the u.s. started talking about hitting Afghanistan after 9/11 i was furious. i already knew quite a lot about the country, how poor and hungry and war weary they were, and also what a humanitarian disaster falling bombs would certainly be. Oh and that the actual guys who drove planes into the towers were already dead. and had been Saudis anyway. I am also a big and loyal fan of Malalai Joya! why can't we ever get leaders like her?

Here again we hear from experts that there is NO military solution for the women and girls of Afghanistan. I will continue to work every day for an end to U.S. occupation and bombing of Afghanistan.
