WHAT OUR CHILDREN ARE DYING FOR IN AFGHANISTAN The Taliban had all but eradicated the opium growers before the US invasion. So why is cheap Afghani heroin flooding into the United States? www.thebostonchannel.com/cnn-news/21068822/detail.html whatreallyhappened.com/IM...608_opium_marines_800.JPG

The primary reason that the US invaded Afghanistan is to encircle Iran. Here's one of the real, ancillary reasons that the US invaded Afghanistan.... thelastcrusade.org/2010/0...hampions-women%E2%80%99s- lib-in-afghanistan/ HILLARY’S HIJAB THE MUSLIM METHODIST A U.S. plan to support women’s initiatives in Afghanistan to promote social development and sexual equality was unveiled yesterday by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Details of the the Women’s Action Plan for Afghanistan were released at the London Conference on Afghanistan, state department officials said in a press release. Secretary Clinton maintains that women’s empowerment is inextricably linked to security, economic opportunity, effective governance, and social development in Afghanistan and seeks to a create a country where “women are free from violence and coercion; where girls can go to school; where parents can find jobs and quality health care is more easily accessible.” State Department officials said the plan includes initiatives focused on women’s security; women’s leadership in the public and private sectors; women’s access to judicial institutions, education, and health services; and women’s ability to take advantage of economic opportunities, especially in the agricultural sector. Officials said the effort stands “in stark contrast to the oppression and marginalization women face from Afghan insurgents.” A recently passsed law in Afghanistan permits Muslim husbands to deny their wives food and water if they refuse to submit to their husband’s sexual demands. The same legilation grants guardianship of children exclusively to their fathers and grandfathers and requires women to get permission from their husbands to work. 85.1 % of the women in Afghanistan have no formal education. Only 1% of the girls in rural comunities attend school. The average salary for female workers, including women who labor in the popium trade, is 48 cents a day Secretary Clinton has appeared in public on several occasions wearing a hijab, the traditional Islamic head covering which denotes a woman’s subjugation to male authority and has not championed women’s rights when meeting with leading Muslim officials, including the religious leaders of Pakistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Iraq.

Say what???? How did "women's empowerment" help America's "security, economic opportunity, effective governance, and social development?" Before we promote that gobbly gook to other countries, we should look at our country and see if that shiite actually is true.
