Palast: "Now that the sonovabitch is dead, why is the US still angry with us?"

5. Remember, the status of women in Iraq and Lybia was pretty good until the US toppled their leaders.

Women were educated, held high level jobs, were scientists, could drive etc...but the media here would never give this impression. Now the lives of women and children in both these countries are most miserable. And we can't wait to do the same thing to Iran. As long as foreign soldiers on their lands the Taliban will really tough on women...the strictness is, in their minds, designed to "protect them from the infidels." Everywhere the US military has invaded the women and children have suffered the most. When the military leaves and we are no longer on a war footing with a country, the women become more free and the children are safer. Check out history. Viet Nam for one example.
