As a state function we were told we needed to end and go home. The group as a whole decided that they needed to stay and finish the task at hand. Whatever happened as a result of this event - would not end the violence against women and children. I remember people talking about Bosnia, Rowanda - the list goes on. And today, six years after - American Soldiers have been on trial for raping Iraqi women; Soldiers returning have turned their guns on their families; and we are still cleaning up the aftermaths of Katrina land.Homelighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15021804922034488307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20384192.post-3247335086060351172007-09-12T16:59:00.000-07:002007-09-12T16:59:00.000-07:00I was teaching a political science class at the ti...I was teaching a political science class at the time, and most of the kids who attended class the next day were just waiting for me to explain why this happened.

After explaining what I knew about Islamic fundamentalism, there was still anger, but a bit more knowledge about the politics behind it.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968871000108390809noreply@blogger.com
