DougR: Not yet!

Jack: Nicely put!

Dharmagirl: Not all terrorists are men. Ever hear of Patty Hearst?

Granted, the ones we're hearing about in Afghanistan are men, but what do you expect from a regime that forbids women to work? But we don't know whether the anthrax mailer(s) might be male or female.

As to your assertion that most women would choose freedom if given the choice, that really depends on the culture, and on how deeply the culture of repression has been drummed into them. Lots and lots of people (men and women) are more dedicated to their culture or to their religion than they are to human rights.

As to GUEST trying to divide and conquer the women on this thread, you can relax; GUEST has no power over us! If we're divided, it's because we have differing opinions; all that means is that we can think for ourselves!
