how unbelievable it is to have places where you can be killed for being the teacher of a grrrl, much less being that grrrl

oh and of course i still think laura is full of shite just as much as king george is.

Bush Fails Women in Afghanistan
by Joan Smith

The Taliban are back. Less than five years after British and U.S. troops drove them out of Afghanistan, they are launching increasingly audacious attacks, including an ambush of British troops in Helmand province last weekend. British soldiers were jumping from helicopters when they came under fire, beginning a battle in which 21 Taliban fighters were killed. One observer warned that British troops must regain control of Helmand or "the whole of southern Afghanistan will be lost to the Taliban insurgents."
I could make a sarcastic remark about another great success in President Bush's war on terror, but the situation in Afghanistan is too horrifying.
At the same time, I can't help recalling the lunatic optimism of the president's wife a few weeks into the Afghan campaign in 2001. "Because of our recent military gains in much of Afghanistan, women are no longer imprisoned in their homes," Laura Bush declared. "The fight against terrorism is also a fight for the rights and dignity of women." ........
