I fear for this Pope

[sabrina 1]

129. Anything to say about the women who are daily victims of our foreign policy? The raped, the

murdered, the women whose babies are blown to bits on a regular basis? Seems to me we have enough to do right here to STOP the abuse of women in the countries we are invading yet the so-called women advocates assume they know what these women need.

Ever talk to a woman whose baby was murdered by a US bomb? Ever tell her she needs to 'stop having children'??

Ever talk to a woman who was raped by NATO troops, British troops, US troops and ASK her what is most important to her?

Ever talk to a woman whose husband was hauled off to Abu Ghraib in his OWN COUNTRY leaving her without financial support for herself and her children? What do you think her priorities are? Many of them have told us if you are at all interested. The women of Afghanistan have told us, if you are truly interested in their needs. Many of them were INSULTED by American womens rights activists telling them their most important need is 'contraception'. Especially those who have no children due to our Humanitarian Bombs.

Victims? We have created millions of them, and here we are daring to tell those victims what they need. We stole their lives, their loved ones, their incomes, their homes, their countries. I think most of them are far more interested in what this pope, despite not being members of his religion, is SAYING TO THE PERPETRATORS of the crimes against them.

How about we take care of our own problems before we dare to try to decide what women in other cultures and countries need?? WE have no clue. This pope does and he's beginning with one of the most important issues those women are facing, POVERTY.

Anyone who is not speaking out about the outrages we are perpetrating on the men, women and children of the countries we are droning, bombing invading and whose dictators we are supporting, DOES NOT SUPPORT women's rights. They are hypocrites imposing THEIR first world beliefs on women whose lives have been so destroyed by OUR GOVERNMENT, I doubt they are open to being lectured on what they need by people who were unwilling or unable to stop the abuses inflicted on them.
