Oh, who cares about them? They're only dumb peasants and they don't have strings of pearls and shots of Botox and besides, that's their culture and we wouldn't want to interfere with a sacred Muslim culture.
When I remember how good Bush was on this issue and how the brutal mistreatment of women was really one of the things that galvanized Americans - not to mention gaining us a lot of support from Afghanis and others who did not want to see their society's women locked into cloth bags and treated worse than dogs - I just can't believe that in less than a year we've come around to this.
As far as Obama's concerned, anything a Muslim culture does is ok and he wouldn't want to interfere. And he knows that even if the Taliban and AQ arrived in the US and began to impose their regime, it would be ok for him and his lovely wife because they have money and power. For the rest of us? We don't matter.
All is shows you is how fast something good can be undone when evil people are in charge.
>>God help the Afghanis, especially the females
And the boys, no kiteflying, skateboarding (yes, they do!), music, dancing, not to mention the poor barbers and CD/DVD rental places, the list goes on and on.
Looks like we’re back to the 90’s - when asked by the Pakistanis if they could supports a Talib regime, like the Saudis without the oil, Clinton readily agreed.
How shameful of the socalled progs and libs - simply condemn a nation to the worst kind of debilitating, misogynistic, life hating tyranny.
And you know, we will NOT help the Northern Alliance fight the Talibs. Just like Bill never did.
Jihadis of all stripes, Pakistani Generals will all cheer.
Allahu Akbar!
