Did it ruin the world decades ago when your hate for women and your wishes for their subjugation were set back by procreation freedom for women?


face it you likely gained.

some stupid women probably actually fucked you due to birth control

I could be wrong, but what other option is there?

He could try to remove Sharia by lining up fundamentalists in the town square and shooting them in front of everyone, much in the same manner that they came into power. That's not going to make anyone over here happy either. Just because he is offending western women sensibilities with his comments doesn't mean he isn't making progress. I'm sure what he'd have to say about gay marriage would be even more frightful to American sensibilities.

However, he's not trying to change the USA. He's trying to change his own country.

And that's the trick. Whether discussing history or foreign policy, liberals seems have to difficulty understanding worlds any other than their own.

I seem to recall your BFF and BAC telling me in no uncertain terms that the women of Afghanistan wanted the military to leave.

Well, Hazel, you will have to ask them about their telling you this.

I know I want us to leave Afghsnistan.

I will continue to privately support organizations that support women in Afghanistan.

Yes well I am sure that they are all terribly grateful for your support. I'm quite certain that it will be a comfort to them when they are rounded up and tortured for wanting an education. By the way, BAC has left the board and Darla I don't speak to anyway. Maybe you can bring it up when you next have a virtual coffee morning?

I agree that he has to work with what he has but he isn't derogatively called the Mayor of Kabul for nothing.

This isn't about offending Western women's sensibilities, there's much more to it than that. Your OP shows through photographs how freely Afghan women lived decades before al-Qaeda and the Taliban took over. When that government was overthrown and Karzai took over, he was supposed to be anti-Taliban and restore rights, not limit them further. I remember the bush administration fawning over him and feting him after his election so it was a surprise when he began to turn away from the West and suck up to the Taliban again. It makes him seem like a corrupt opportunist, not a leader who can be depended on to uphold rights for all his citizens.

Looks like they will be returned to enslavement when the West leaves them to their fate again.

Women in Afghanistan were brutally repressed under Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001 – but a series of fascinating old photographs show how women there used to live freely. The Taliban were condemned around the world for their treatment of women. Under their rule women were forbidden to be educated, publicly beaten for showing disobedience and forced to wear burqas – a garment that covers the whole body, apart from the eyes.

However, Mohammad Humayon Qayoumi, who was born in Kabul in Afghanistan, and went on to become an engineering professor at San Jose State University, wrote a photo-essay book called Once Upon A Time in Afghanistan that documented how life before the Taliban used to very different for women. His photographs from the 1950s, 60s and 70s show how they used to be afforded university-level education, browse record shops in short skirts and study science.

Indeed a State Department report from the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour from 2001 explains how women were given the vote in the 1920s, were granted equality in the Afghan constitution in the 1960s and by the early 1990s formed 70 per cent of school teachers, 50 per cent of government workers and in Kabul, 40 per cent of doctors.

Five "overlanders" enjoy a view of Afghanistan in May 1977. Afghanistan was one of the most beloved stops on the so-called "hippie trail" of the 1960s and 1970s. creative commons

Ken Klein left Philadelphia in 1973 with the $800 he'd saved from his bar mitzvah. He wanted to see the world but ran out of money in Istanbul and went back to the United States to work in telephone sales with the goal of raising $5,000 and buying a one-way ticket back to Europe. A year later, at the age of 24, he set out east from Istanbul along the overland route through Asia. Five years later, still in Asia, he proposed to his Dutch traveling companion, Marjon. They wed on Jan. 1, 1979, in Kathmandu, Nepal. The "hippie trail," he said, changed his life.ADVERTISEMENTLike Ken, thousands of rebellious Europeans, Americans and Aussies in the 1960s and 1970s threw caution to the wind and traded their suburban upbringings for sarongs, sandals and the allure of the East, marching along the overland route on a journey that would forever alter the course of history.

Jack Kerouac, father of the Beats and grandfather of the hippies, may have had something to do with it. He published "On the Road" in 1957, inspiring a generation to hit the road on a journey of self-discovery. Then Beat poet Allen Ginsberg moved to Varanasi, India, in 1962, heralding the wonders of Eastern philosophy and calling it "my promised land" and "a new earth."
Soon, The Beatles were in Rishikesh, India, with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Cat Stevens -- who would become Yusuf Islam -- was in Kathmandu. Dylan said the times were a-changing, Peter, Paul and Mary were leaving on a jet plane, and Ray Charles told a generation to hit the road and don't come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
