When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

RAWA's appeal to the UN and World community The Taliban and Al-Qaeda will be eliminated, but the existence of the NA as a military force would shatter the joyful dream of the majority for an Afghanistan free from the odious chains of barbaric Taliban. The NA will horribly intensify the ethnic and religious conflicts and will never refrain to fan the fire of another brutal and endless civil war in order to retain in power
The Revolutionary Association of Women of Afghanistan opposes rule by the Northern Alliance. The U. S. will gladly support this group as long as they follow US goals. Not democracy and freedom, but follow US goals.
Our government has, in my name and in your name, frequently supported oppressive regimes simply because, for a price, they were willing to give US corporations free rein. That is our meaining of freedom in foreign policy.
Even though we may oppose or be ignorant of what they do, they do it our name. So, just how innocent are the lives we have lost?
