admin @ November 18, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Homemakers Magazine editor in chief Kathy Ullyott speaks with reporter Stephen Dohnberg about the struggle of women and what she witnessed during her visit to Kabul, Afghanistan The conversation reveals what a complex situation the Western presence in Afghanistan is by any measure.

Invited by C.A.R.E. Canada, in May Kathy Ullyott, made her way to the city of Kabul for a week-long look at the work and commitment of an NGO such as C.A.R.E., who have been an early presence since 1996, assisting widows with food aid. Even an issue of basic aid is fraught with concerns that span the range of issues from western presence to cultural mores. Although we initially planned to discuss the ascent of women’s rights in Afghanistan, the intersection of so many other disparate concerns clearly illustrates that no single issue will resolve itself independent of others.

President George W. Bush’s deceit has no limits. His attack on Sen. Barack Obama, suggesting the Democratic presidential candidate wants to “appease” terrorists, reaches a new low, and we should brace for more as the Busheviks desperately and ruthlessly try to cling to the White House.
…
“Playing to his Jewish audience, many with family members killed in the Holocaust, Bush used emotionally charged imagery and historically false parallels in a vile and shameless attempt to score political points in Israel and the United States”

“Bush showed stunning chutzpah, dropping the Nazi bomb in his speech. Recall that his grandfather Prescott Bush was enjoying the comfort of money in 1939 after his investment firm, Brown Brothers Harriman, helped feed and finance the Nazi war machine.”…

“In 2004, Britain’s Guardian scoured through National Archive documents and records in the Library of Congress that detailed Prescott Bush’s firm’s role in providing financing and banking services for Fritz Thyssen, a German industrialist and early supporter of Hitler and the Nazis.”
…
“So does this make Bush’s granddaddy a Nazi sympathizer and enabler? Not necessarily. It was just business. The Bushes wouldn’t let the stigma of being linked to a murderous, totalitarian regime get in their way of making a few (or millions) of dollars. Making money from war and death is genetically ingrained in the Bush family.”…
