I really think that educating the poor people of Afghanistan (especially the girls/women) will go a long ways towards undermining the male dominated Islamic fundamentalist power structure so prevalent in that part of the world. In so doing, our long term goals are realized, i.e. support for a stable democratic government triumphs over Sharia based Islamofascist militarism. By heavily educating their women, we undermine the underlying power structure. These women, once liberated from the various shackles of their oppression, will NOT allow this country to step back into the Sharia mentality. Empowered by their intellect, they will be a force to be reckoned with. We must start with the children and see their education through even if it means bringing them to America and GIVING them free rides to our most prestigious universities. just my opinion of course.
Soeey, ain’t gonna happen. Elections have consequences.

What and displace all of the illegals going to school instead of our own children? How does that work? Isn’t that a little like proposing free health care to everyone without increasing the number of clinics and doctors? Feels all warm and fuzzy, but not too practical, no?
