That is a total crock of uninformed bullshit, and I know because I participated in several NOW-sponsored forums about Afghanistan when I was in college back in 1996-98. The womens and human rights groups that spoke out about the Taliban didn't call for a war--they called for tougher international sanctions and diplomatic pressure, as well as money food and other financial aid to the women and children in Afghanistan.
When the war started against the Taliban, NOW and other groups were the first ones to remark that, had the U.S. and its allies taken them seriously years before, perhaps things would have turned out differently. |
NOW loves to backpedal now don't they. Feminazis called for war if necessary against the taliban. I don't remember them saying that if we had taken them seriously this problem wouldn't exist. In fact I remember the feminazis were the first to remark at the University of BC that the US deserved 9/11 and how happy they were that american imperialist patriarchal scumbags finally got what they deserved.

You're full of it. Show me a source from NOW or any other major woman's rights group that called for war on Afghanistan prior to Sept. 11th, and show me their saying such things as you claim post-9-11. I'll even help you:

Now quit talking out of your arse. |
Yeah I'll get right on searching at NOW's website for this. Just like when Iwant to find dirt on anyone I go directly to there website where they proclaim where they screwed up loudly of course.
Edit: Those remarks were made at the U of BC's 2002 fully government funded confrence on domestic abuse and violence against women. It was widly reported in the newspapers around here and denounced by real feminists.
On a sidenote what's the big deal with violence against women? Since most violence in society is perpetrated against men shouldn't we be having violence against humans meetings? Unless you believe women are the weaker sex and need special protections?

In your heart of hearts Boris, do you really think sanctions would have made a whit of difference to the isolationist-minded zealots of the Taliban?
As for aid: Just how is it supposed to get to those needy women and children without passing through the gov't controlled by the Taliban? Surely you understand that they'd intercept any international shipments and give the supplies to the army?
