Please visit the UNICEF site for some stories from Afghanistan.

It was on the news today.

Images of Afghans childeren who went to school, many of them for the first time, after the Taliban banned girls over 12 from getting education.

At one school 3,500 childeren turned up! And there was applause, another thing banned by the Taliban. The kids were so excited and filled with joy.

The people in Afghanistan are more free now. They are free to get educated, and they are accepting that right with open arms.

When seeing how happy these kids are again, I know we did the right thing by freeing them from the Taliban!

Their thirst for knowledge is immense. That parents, teachers and students would risk their lives under the Taliban to educate their daughters deeply moved me.

"UNICEF is playing a major role "

Be careful what you wish for, if the United Nations is in on this, will the education be 'One World' oriented? I fear this might boost sales of Hitlery's 'Village' book.

These 'open' minds are ripe for the liberal brainwashing that's headed their way. (Did you pay your global taxes kids?)
