10 Reasons Why Women Should Oppose the US War on Terrorism
Edited on Sun Jul-31-05 10:43 PM by sintax
10 Reasons why women should oppose the US war on terrorism.

1)War kills innocent civilians. Women and children become collateral damage.

2)War and militarism expose women and girls to rape and sexual violence; ithe culture of aggression encourages domestic violence against women.

3) Weapons of mass destruction, produced, used and sold by the US worldwide, poison the environment, causing miscarriages, birth defects and cancers.

1. Reason 5) The "war on terrorism"
is a cover for US economic, political and military domination, which increases women's poverty worldwide.

2. Repression from a violent patriarchal
culture that is destroying the gift of life here on Earth.

If we are to survive it will be a return to the matrilineal.

4. there's also the minor detail that the war is a failure
There is more terrorism than before they started the stupid policy.
It is a reason to oppose the stupid war, for women and all persons
with forebrains. But making government policy based on evidence and
statistical observation would involve people clearly more stupid than
women. Matriarchy's all over the galaxy are surely chuckling in thier
spaceships as they watch the "race of the knob-heads"... wobbling in
the sky they're laughing so hard.
