Why did you leave out this part... "War makes the rights of women completely erased, and poverty comes after war -- and women pay the price," said Fatma Nevin Vargun, a Kurdish women's rights activist. Vargun denounced the arrest of Cindy Sheehan, the Vacaville activist mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, in front of the White House on Monday at an antiwar protest. The method of selection for the group of women and the commentary with respect to Cindy Sheehan makes this sound more like propaganda. First of all, I didn't leave it out.......you will note at the bottom before the link I said "continued". I think you know what that means. Secondly, its not propaganda; its fact. In the third world where most wars are fought, the women pay a steep price for the war. During the war, they are often made captive, forced to do manual labor and frequently raped. After the war, they are saddled with the children all alone because their husbands was killed in the war. And the living is hard because the country has been ravaged. Maybe if you all focused on the particulars of war, especially the negative ones, you wouldn't be so gung ho to go to war in the first place.
