2. it was pretty grim and it had a lot of the inner workings of The Taliban
and the Paksstani intelligence forces. with friends like Pakistan i'm wouldn't be surprised if bin Laden were never caught.

4. I saw the ad for it. I hope our local will run it Thursday.
I thought that was when they said it would be on, not Tuesday.

5. I marked it on my calendar yesterday and then
forgot to look at the calendar. Thanks for posting.

Everyone should watch this. Americans know so little about the culture and circumstances in other countries.

I really hate to see the Taliban return to power...they are an oppressive, ignorant regime. And Senator Frist seems willing to let them have Afghanistan. Sometimes I think our regime wants to see the Taliban succeed because they enjoy seeing the women treated worse than animals. Or is Frist saying this so to get American women angry and pushing for escalated violence? I hate war....but I hate this war against the women of Afghanistan and other parts of the Middle East. Yet I believe the women in these areas are capable of fighting oppression for themselves.

While phonebanking yesterday, I spoke with a woman who usually votes repugnant but couldn't bring herself to do so this time. She said: "I believe it's time for the women to rule. They understand what Life entails."

One would think that by then our civilization would have evolved to the point of NOT warring over religion...this is what it all comes down to IMHO. Organized religions are not useful today.

6. I watched it, it was very good
we are dealing with tribal factions with different beliefs and customs, we have definitely opened a pandora's box. Bush some day will have a heavy price to pay, or should I say every dog has it's day. And they even compared * to a dog.
