The Taliban regime enforced the philosophy that women are the source of corruption to men and existed to be controlled and dominated by them. The abuse they suffered in that society is unthinkable to us who choose what we want to wear, who we want to marry - or not marry, whether we are educated past Grade 3, if we can go out of the house without showing our faces, if we choose to even to access necessary medical servies. <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliban_treatment_of_women<br /><br />God bless the efforts of those attempting to ensure that Afghanistan is free.

(american air force) and for all that i was brought up in a military home, it scares the life out of me. he has 2 more years in high school to finish before he could enlist at all, and i think we've impressed upon him the importance of education, which will take him through collge.<br /><br />so 6 more years.<br /><br />please deity, let this war be over. even ONE more fatality is too much. and i have friends who are over there.miss kittennoreply@blogger.com
