Okay, have we heard of women being rounded up and executed on soccer fields lately?

We should have left them alone, happily kneeling in that soccer field for imagined infidelities, right?
To: Area Freeper
Well, ask them how many women were hanged or beheaded last Friday night at the Soccer Stadium. That was the only " entertainment" when the Taliban ruled. You could not have a a radio, tv, or satellite dish.

Human-rights organizations criticized the Bush administration Wednesday, saying in the three years since the Taliban was ousted from most of Afghanistan, the U.S. has not fulfilled promises of safety, freedom, education and health care for Afghan women. Funny...I don't recall these activists being that worked up about these women's rights when the Taliban was in power.
And last I saw, women weren't getting bullets in the back of their heads in soccer stadiums under the new regime.

"Ninety percent of Afghan women are illiterate. How will they know who to vote for?" Volpi said. Yeah, that's right, the Bush Administration should have solved that ancient problem in a couple of years.

"Ninety percent of Afghan women are illiterate. How will they know who to vote for?" Volpi said. Sounds like a perfect breeding ground for liberals

safety, freedom, education and health care for Afghan women. This wasn't the purpose of the war in Afghanistan.

All the Leftists worried about was a golf course in Georgia. And now the A.N.S.W.E.R. monkeys want credibility by crying out for the women they turned their backs on?

If Kerry won, two days later these same jerks would be talking about women's rights blossoming all over due to the hope given by the new administration.

On Oct. 9, Afghan citizens are scheduled to elect a president. Millions of women are registered to vote, and most of the 19 candidates have women's issues as one focus of their political platform, Kumar said.
But there is minimal voter education in Afghanistan, and many women are expected to vote the same as their husbands or not at all, said Malaly Volpi, director of the Policy Council on Afghan Women.
"Ninety percent of Afghan women are illiterate. How will they know who to vote for?" Volpi said.
Sounds like the beginnings at least of a success story, not grounds to trash President Bush.
Unless, of course, your intention is to tear the President down to build someone else up.

I guess all of those pictures of girls in school getting an education are propoganda, not really happening. And those soldiers helping them out are in on it.
I am getting so sick of the ridiculous swipes of the left.

I want to hear what they were saying when the Taliban were in power.

If the President had a "D" next to his name, these yahoos would have already nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize.

"Ninety percent of Afghan women are illiterate. How will they know who to vote for?" Volpi said. They can learn to read, which millions of them are also doing, and which they were not allowed to do under the Taliban. This activist is a fool. Women in Afghanistan are so much better off now that I cannot imagine anyone who knows even the rudiments of what things were like under the Taliban making this ridiculous claim.
To: Area Freeper
Almost half of the millions of Afghanis who have registered to vote are women and, yes, one of the candidates for president of the country is female. Three years ago any of those millions registered and any woman who would dare present herself in public without a burka (much less for public office) would have been subject to immediate execution. Some failure.

And whose fault is that? Why aren't these groups getting the word out? Is it because of their "religion of peace" mullahs? Yo Volpi, look to your organization and others like you for the fault. Sheesh!
