I know how you feel. I would never go to anybody but Norma! Of course, now that she's going back and forth, that makes it more difficult. Oiks!! I guess I can share her with George Clooney and Andre Agassi if I have to. ;-}

I would highly recommend all Americans watch "Beneath the Veil, Women in Afghanistan" on CNN. It is something you will never forget. It will be engraved in me forever. It is an experience similar to the first time you learned about what Hitler did to humans in WWII.

President Bush refers the taliban as evil, I believe he was being kind. The taliban are devils, straight from he!!. You will never be able to forget. According to CNN's web site this airs at 10 p.m. EDT and PDT Sundays.

CNN link:

Beneath the Veil, Women in Afghanistan, click on 'story'

Here is the beginning text from the web site:

Ever since the Taliban took control of most of Afghanistan in 1996, the group has imposed its harsh version of Islamic law on the country. In "Beneath the Veil," journalist Saira Shah traveled to Afghanistan to see the effects of the Taliban's rule on her father's homeland.

She discovered public executions, allegations of human rights violations like massacres and torture, and a place where women are forced to beg because they are prevented from working. But she also found that the first voices of protest come from the most repressed, including an opposition group that uses hidden cameras to film the executions.
