Let me get this straight, you think that since you are not seeing feminists in the media supporting the war then, liberals, Democrats,and feminists are frauds, who don't really care about women's rights? Did it ever occur to you that the media does not give everyone the opportunity to voice their opinions? You seem to have a disturbing amount of faith in the media. Also, while I think it is a good thing that women in Afghanistan and Iraq have the right to go to school and to vote, these "by-products" of the war on terrorism do not change my mind about the reasons we actually did go to war. I do not support the U.S. government sending poor and working class American citizens overseas to die while protecting the interests of oil corporations. Which is in fact what is going on there. If you sincerely believe that the U.S. government went to Iraq because they wanted to liberate the people, then I am sorry to say that you have been hoodwinked. Do you even listen to any media sources, other than Fox News? Did you know that there are thousands of people from the U.S. and elsehwere that are in Iraq and Afghanistan helping to promote equality for women, many of whom were there before we bombed the shit out or them? You should really try to examine your media sources with critical eyes and ears, and perhaps if you don't already, consult multiple media sources in order to get a more well-rounded interpretation of current events. I suggest you check out any sources that air BBC news or NPR, and you should really check out www.fair.org. FAIR stands for fairness and accuracy in reporting; they publish articles on the biased media and correct other new sources when they broadcast false information. I am sure that some of the other nice people you have been chatting with here could suggest more. |
