    well, i got essential "the taliban is worse for women and if we were to leave then it would be more oppressive than if america was there" out of him eventually, after much prying.

    he was way more left (i think he was like a left anticommunist) when he was in college, so i think theres just a lot of belief that this is just my youthful naivete (im 28, not in my teens though).

        youre right about that, but hes definitely moved to the right. defends it by saying "youll understand when youre older" but i told him that its actually just cause he made more money.

        yeah, its the same theory as people using "gay rights!!" to justify apartheid in israel.

      the first thing that pops into my head is what are 'we' doing for the women in afghanistan that doesn't come from a weapon?
