I agree. I saw Laura Bush on Greta last night, and their efforts to help the women in Afghanistan are noble. Of course the women in Africa and Central America, etc., etc. need help too. But Afghanistan is brutal towards them. But doesn’t Afghanistan have a lot of untapped oil?
That said, W’s abject failure on borders and immigration is inexcusable.
Agreed. I don't agree with everything Laura has said but she's taken up a cause which the feminists should have been on the front lines supporting.
And, of course, that is far from the only reason we are in Afganistan. Nat'l security is #1 (have the head-in-the-sanders on this board forgotten about that) but bringing freedom to the oppressed when fighting a war is always a nice side-benefit.
