To quote you: -- Furthermore, it's representation is more often designed to promote this kind of discussion by manufacture of 'stories' (one of these being the celebrating Palistinians, another being the oppression of women in Aphganistan for example). -- The stories about the Taliban oppression of women was not manufactured. This was a deliberate policy of the Taliban and happened all over the areas of the country under their control. Their veracity is beyond doubt. Several of us have given you evidence well beyond the typical big media sources - e.g., Amnesty International, Human Right Watch and the Revolutionary Afghan Woman's Association (http://www.RAWA.org). As for the celebrating Palestinians, multiple news sources - American, European and others, filmed it independently.

You are no liberal, even by Australian standards. You tend towards knee-jerk anti-american statements and pro-taliban ones. Someone who was truely left wing would have been far more actively involved against the Taliban, rather than the blind unthinking anti-americanism you demonstrate. Its merely contemptible. > > Keep watching television Howard. It appears to do you a lot of good. Keep being ignorant Benjamin, it protects you from independent thought. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
