Oh come on. Of course all governments have their problems. But there comes a point when you have to draw the line.I don't think it would be Christian-like to tell the women of Afghanistan to 'be good guests'.

The Taliban didn't change much re the status of women in Afghanistan. I was there in 1973 and respectable women were never seen on the streets. (However, we did see nomadic women outside the cities who, incidentally, did not wear veils although the men did.) In any event the author claims that war should be absolutely the last thing to be used, perhaps because the war killed more women than the Taliban ever did.

As I'm sure you probably know, that is not true. You seem to be making a habit of saying things that are blatantly false. On your last thread you claimed the U.S. had made no effort to arrest associates of the Sept. 11 terrorists, which, of course, was also false. How stupid do you think we are?
