A STATEMENT FROM FEMINISTS OF AFGHANISTAN:

That'd be an easier thing to believe if the government of
Afghanistan was not Osama's front organization and if the
only opposition group in Afghanistan wasn't pushed into 10%
of the country.

Now, instead of pissing at the US and trying to lay the
blame on us because of some byzantine sequence of events
that followed a glancing acquantance with American largesse
15 years ago, how about asking nice if we'd spend some of
our lives and resources and precious time saving your butts?

Because it's clear that your "most ruined and destitute
people" aren't going to, and neither are the terrorist-
cheering bastards in your neighboring nations.

Just as the people of America have nothing to do with the conflicts in the
Middle East.

And there should be a big *space* between them and the terrorists. Stay away
from the terrorists or force them out of your country. That way you will
avoid the wrath of America.

It is also the way to stop terrorism. If they are not welcome in any
country, how can they survive as a terrorist group? They would just turn in
to angry old men that walk around mumbling. Seriously. It has to be a social
change, not a military change. All fighting should be socially unacceptable,
from "sports" boxing to war. If society were to snub everybody that
participates in anything remotely violent, it would eventually be only the
truely mentally deranged that would commit acts of violence. I am not saying
it would be quick, but it is the change that must happen for the world to be
at peace. We have to learn to live with our neighbors and to not try to push
them to be like us. Respect each others way of life and if you can do
business, fine. If not, fine also. Some people just want to be left alone to
live the way they want to live.
