Wow, not sure if I am reading you right or not, Don. I am amazed if you truly mean that regarding the women in Afghanistan. Imagine if men were treated that way...I doubt they would consider it a minor inconvenience. There are men who are being oppressed almost as much as the women in Afghanistan. Many, many Afghans have lost their lives, disappeared, etc. It may not be on the same scale as the nazis, but it is the same ilk who are carrying it out. BTW, if they are so minor, does that mean we should be silent as the US and other countries were when they didn't believe the reports of Jews being massacred?

Lepus Rex, thanks, again, for your further elucidation. next time I will try to be more *creative* in my thread naming.:-)
