"Over-sensitive feminist"... That's funny, especially when you are stating a view based on a clear observation of facts. It does however, speak volumes to the attitude that some officers (and population in general) have in regards to the situation in the middle east. A region at odds with itself for generations cannot be understood, explained or solved by our standards of behavior. The people attempting to do so, based on our understanding of their society are simply suffering from leadership and objective myopia. I agree with your thoughts on the Taliban's clamp down on women and your Nazi analogy. I believe it to be a means of control by instilling fear in the rest of the population.Jm Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542245056831474827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596169951296516856.post-58868896849023160062009-09-01T12:50:53.354-04:002009-09-01T12:50:53.354-04:00Sort of reminds me of when I was studying Peace, W...Sort of reminds me of when I was studying Peace, War,and Diplomacy at an American military school. I told one of my profs that I thought the Taliban's clamp down on women was a means of immobilizing the population akin to what the Nazis did by taking out the Jews. (The Jews having run the banks and several other important infastructures, and the women making up a vast part of the professional sector because of a never-ending civil war that has wiped out many of the men). He told me I was an over-sensitive feminist. Funny, because now my classmates are dying over there. Well, I guess East Timor and the fact that we had Indonesian military officers attending our school was of way more importance, at the time. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for stopping by.Literary Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617158752582477717noreply@blogger.com
