Yes, you touch on a number of hot-points for me.
For our few falibities, we do an incredible amount of good around the world. The idea that we went into Iraq exclusively for selfish reasons is pathetic. We could have killed Hussein and been in and out in days not years.
We stuck around to see that the Iraqi people had a chance. While it is lamented that Iraq has turned into a Mogadishu situation, what do these folks think it would have turned into if we had simply killed Hussein and left?
Since they didn’t object, I guess the old Cambodian model would suffice. Nuff said...
You have a good night.
This comment ought to get me a barrage of replies, however, I don’t like the idea of any group telling their women to wear long dresses, for any reason. There’s a difference between dressing unlike a whore, and being encouraged to wear a dress that covers you from stem to stern. That smacks too much of burkha to me, and I don’t like that one bit. It’s like what those weirdos that are polygamists out west do with their women, have them all wear long dresses. Unless one is a nun, and even nuns don’t usually wear long gowns anymore, except for certain orders, this idea is ridiculous.
I can just imagine, when I was still working, if I would commute down to Chicago in a long gown in the middle of summer when it is 1,000 degrees heat, give or take a few, in the Midwest, with high humidity to boot. And then to see all the women walking up and down Michigan Avenue in long dresses. I have no desire whatsoever to go back to the same stone age that is inhabited by the misogynist Muzzies and their oppressed women. I don’t even want to think of something that smacks of it, however minute.
I think this group, BattleCry, should can any attempt to dictate what women should wear unless the men also wear clothes that cover them from stem to stern. Preach the modesty part, for one and all (that means no low hanging pants on men’s butts also), but lay off the “what women specifically should wear” part. I don’t like control freaks. No Jim Jones types for me, thank you. Won’t drink the kool aid.
