And then you can admire yourself in a burqua... This is one of the reasons why I fervently hope that a Democratic wins the next presidential election.

Because American troops enable her to do so. You are just so utterly clueless. Hey Marion

Why don’t you tell that to an Iraqi girl leaning how to read and write for the first time? Because American troops enable her to do so. You are just so utterly clueless.

A community that want to support and protect human rights must have the will to expel or jail or kill the individuals that are against the human rights. As wrote an judge of the SCOTUS, "the Constitution is not a suicide pact", and Human Rights also are not a suicide pact. I, like Phyllis Chesler, think there are no civilians in this war. No one is innocent in this war. No neutral zone. Human Rights are for the people believing in Human Rights, not for the people attacking and suppressing Human Rights.

Bush is the name of the current president. He and Vice President Cheney are wasting billions of dollars on a war in Iraq that is based on lies. This has had a devastating effect on domestic social programs. Dear Mr. Owen:

Criticism, however, aimed at a person (by name, if known), a committee (wherein individuals naturally hide in bureaucracy), or "commission" (same thing, etc.), becomes an effective way of outing those with uninformed or misinformed opinions. Their actions should be called into accountability. Actions, taken in view of facts, replace the well-intentioned (perhaps) or wishful thinking when people are held accountable. So act, don't just rage against the mob. Criticism aimed at the faceless, nameless “administration” really fries me.

However, "a pre-emptive strike against a civilian population" is not consistent with support for human rights. It simply replaces one type of human rights violation with another. The Bush administration has cut funding from the kinds of social support programs that help immigrant women escape from abusive situations. This is one of the reasons why I fervently hope that a Democratic wins the next presidential election. Dear Dr. Chesler:
