50. You must see the irony
That the current american regime is offensively anti-feminist. You
must be furious at those who take up arms to defend such a regime.

Lindh deserves your compassion. You don't know anything about his
real story in afganistan, its all secreted behind CIA wars in foreign
places.

Once in a past life, i was trapped in kashmir when they declared
martial law and closed the borders to foreigners. There are some
sacred buddhist pilgrimage places in kashmir which is why i was there,
but i just as easily could have been arrested by security forces for
"being there", and called a spy or some such nonsense... for
living with a muslim family in srinigar while i was very sick with
disintary... and easily could have found my way in to a beheading.

You don't know the story, and your jugement is biased, having no
knowledge of the real situation in which mr lindh found himself.
There were no american troops there to take up arms against, so i
find the whole thing to be a bit political and one sided.

I would hope a feminist would be more cautious about jumping to
conclusions about things. Feminism to me, is accepting that we
don't know, and that life is more than black and white, good and
bad, right and wrong. It is recognizing that we are all
interconnected, and any one of us could have, whilst travelling at
a young age, found themselves in an exotic circumstance. I would
hope then, that somebody out there is wiser than these witch hunters
on this thread... who love to pronounce judgement without any serious
facts of the case.

The enemy of feminism is in washington, not in some desert in asia.
