http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081125/ap_on_re_as/as_afghanistan ... Girls were banned from schools under hardline Taliban rule, and women could leave their homes only if they were clad in a body-hiding burqa and accompanied by a male relative. Afghanistan has made a major push to improve access to education for girls since an American-led offensive ousted the Taliban following the Sept. 11 terror attack on the U.S. Fewer than 1 million Afghan children — mostly boys — attended school under Taliban rule. Now, roughly 6 million do, including 2 million girls. ... The reason only 2 million girls go to school is explained in the article...girls who go to school are targets for the Taliban. They douse them with acid, beat them and shoot them. But still two million families are willing to take that risk to better their daughter's lives.

The war in Afghanistan is going badly for us so those girls won't be going to school long.Better to bring them here for education and then send them back to help improve their country.

The poor in the US fare far better than the poor in Afghanistan. Homeless children in the US can go to school, before we invaded no girls in Afghanistan could go to school. To compare the two is to reveal yourself to be wholly partisan. Human suffering is human suffering. Should we have let the Nazis have their way with Europe, because there were homeless people in the US? Give me a break.

I think uber amerika is acting like a nazi attacking countries all over the planet. 911 was comited alagedly by a criminal group that operated in Afghanistan yet we attack Iraq?

One thing, if Afghanistan is so important why did we pull resources out to fight Iraq? It left our own troops there more vulnerable..Oh but the surge in Iraq worked!!! Pay people money not to fight does wonders dont it.

Bush's great legacy needs bumped.

Bush's great legacy needs bumped. When Reagan left office, he was called one of the worst presidents in American history by Historians. He's now considered one of the best. George Bush won't get a fair shake from anyone who is a mindless partisan. It will be awhile before Americans can look at the Bush years as they truly were. But while it might take a generation before Bush gets his due in America, free Afganis and Iraqis are already singing his praises. Those who appreciate the sacrifices that America made so that they could have freedom and their daughters could walk down the street without a Burka or an escort or their daughters can go to school, those people are already thanking Bush for what he has done.

Im sure they are. I have trouble hearing them over our own people losing their homes, losing their jobs, their stomach growling from hunger, the crowed ER because people dont have insurance, people losing everything the worked hard to get, the injured American soldier screaming out in pain...There seems to be to much NOISE to fully hear them.

You can't even begin to compare Afghanistan to Iraq. One was a response to an attack by actual terrorists. The other was waged under a cover of lies and misinformation.

You can't even begin to compare Afghanistan to Iraq. One was a response to an attack by actual terrorists. The other was waged under a cover of lies and misinformation. Every intelligence agency in the world thought Iraq had WMDs or was close to having them. That is common knowledge. Bush had bad intelligence. Sorry! It happens. Especially when Saddam WANTED the world to think he had WMDs. Democrats were all over the airwaves form when Bush announced the invasion until four months post invasion talking about how Iraq had WMDs, it was just a matter of finding them. Then suddenly, when it looked like we weren't going to find any, the Democrats start whining about the war. You might have a selective memory, but I don't. So you are either not informed enough to discuss the issue or you are a liar. Because this information is easily and widely available. You are on the internet to post your silly little response, hit google and actually learn something instead of just towing the party line.

I like how you skip over what you dont want to address..But hey its your right. Happy Thanksgiving friend.. You mean your appeal to emotion fallacy? What about the kids! What about the solders? What about the US? It's typical democrat MO. When you can't argue the facts, paint your opponent as heartless. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and your freedom. I'm sure the Iraqis and Afganis will enjoy being free this Thanksgiving as well.
