Reply #120: I believe the U.S. government

[ronnie624]

has about as much interest in the rights of Afghan women as they do in those of Iraqi women.

Here is what the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan has to say on the matter:

Neither the US nor Jehadies and Taliban,
Long Live the Struggle of Independent and Democratic Forces of Afghanistan!

RAWA strongly believes that there should be no expectation of either the US or any other country to present us with democracy, peace and prosperity. Our freedom is only achievable at the hands of our people.
