The poor women of the Middle East have waited thousands of years for a savior to come from North America to save them from their suffocating culture. That savior is Laura Bush, wife of the great conqueror President George “Frat-boy” Bush. Mrs. Bush made the remarks in Jordan (a good safe distance from our troops at war in Iraq and Afghanistan) according to The Wichita Eagle, May 22, 2005. She said the governments of the Middle East should have more women in prominence in government and business.
Those poor dumb Middle East people needed us to come and tell them how to run their affairs, according to our leaders in Washington. How ironic it is that rights for women are being eroded right here at home, such as reproductive rights, both abortion and birth control, by Christian fundamentalists who are allied with the Bush regime.
There are people in Afghanistan who have already decided that women deserve full equality and they don’t want us to “save them from themselves.” They have united several Maoist parties into the Communist Party (Maoist) of Afghanistan, According to A World to Win, 2005, no. 31. They have an organized army and they have every intention of driving the U.S. out of their country. A similar organization is organizing in Iran, the Communist Party of Iran (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist). All of these groups are studying the success of the Maoist insurgency in Nepal. They reject the phony democracy imposed by our empire. If they could come here and see U.S. democracy in action, it would only strengthen their resolve not to end up with this mess of corruption and narrow-mindedness we now have to endure.
