128. People DO laugh at our Corporate Media. Are you seriously suggesting we get 'truth' and 'facts'

about our illegal invasions from the corporate media? When was the last time you saw an interview with an Iraqi mother whose child was blown to bits by our WMDs on the Corporate Media? I HAVE seen victims, women who were raped by our 'contractors' eg, elsewhere, certainly NOT on our MSM.

What is your point regarding homophobia? Are you aware that some of our closest allies KILL Gays simply because they are Gay? Ever heard of Saudi Arabia, Uganda eg? Using Gays and women when convenient is a despicable thing to do and frankly we are sick to death of it.

Women in Saudi Arabia eg are oppressed to the extreme. Got any concerns about that or do only care about such issues when it is politically convenient?

Here is how I take these comments that use women and gays when the US gets itself involved in yet another conflict. Are they EQUALLY likely to raise the issue, women eg, in the countries of our Allies? I have not seen you express concern for Gays in Saudi Arabia where they are far, far more oppressed than in Russia eg. I have read about Russia's Gay Rights Activists and heard them object to being USED by the West for political purposes stating that WE ARE HARMING THEM by doing so.

As a woman, I have LONG objected to our support for countries that abuse women, not just when it is politically convenient to do so. Because I ACTUALLY CARE about the issue. I have seen people here pretend to care about issues like this that I have never seen them care about elsewhere.

Iraq eg, women were treated as equals in Saddam's Iraq, they even had what we women still do not have here, EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK. I have not seen you complain about the plight of women NOW in Iraq, since WE brought them 'democracy'. Do you KNOW what has happened to those once educated, free, equally treated women since OUR invasion of their country?

Please do not 'use' people's civil rights as a political tool, it only angers people more and certainly does nothing for the people who are directly affected by their country's laws.
