re: #248 ausador

It is a local ongoing story, the news thought they were helping by telling the story of the poor woman with 12 children still living with her who was evicted and was now in a hotel. Instead all they did was get child services down on her and now she is in jail and the kids are split up in foster homes. She is being held for contempt of the court because she refuses to answer the judges questions about whether she is pregnant and who the father is this time…

Sigh…

(It only relates to Afghanistan in my own mind perhaps, when you talk about womens rights and how only now during the war does anyone care..,what about the women here still getting the short end of the stick?)

If THE USA had been concerned about the rights of Afghan women, we would not have objected so vehemently to the Soviet Invasion in 1979: they guaranteed equal rights and education for all Afghan women.

Instead, we helped kick out the Soviets and send Afghan women back to the Middle Ages.
