Since you are now answering questions I posed to Silenced can you please address these:

"The perception of the women of Afghanistan only being oppressed by the regime of the Taliban and then having been freed by the United States military intervention in 2001 is a false perception." -- Kavita Ramdas, Pres./CEO Global Fund for Women

"Now the cases of violence against women is more than the Taliban time." -- member of RAWA (unidentified for her own safety)

"The attacks on women both external and within the family have gone up. Domestic violence has increased. Women, as a result of severe depression have begun burning themselves in epidemic numbers." -- Sonali Kolhatkar, Co-Director Afghan Women's Mission

"You have to go back to the late 1970s when the US started funding proxy soldiers in the fight against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The US elected to fund the most mysoginist, most anti-woman, most fundamentalist extremist men, leaders of these militias who called themselves the Mujahedin and they were really the predecessors of the Taliban...this was really the beginning of the end of women's rights in Afghanistan...the Northern Alliance and most of the rest of these Mujahedin, or warlords or criminals, they are now dominating the Parliament...they became appointed in Hamid Karzai's cabinet...as political payback." -- Sonali Kolhatkar

"I had occasion to hear Chief Justice Shinwari describe the rights of Afghan women and he said that women have two equal rights under the Constitution. Number one, every woman has the right to obey her husband. And two, every woman has the right to pray, though not in the Mosque...When it comes to issues of women, they are every bit as extreme as the Taliban." -- Ann Jones, author Kabul in Winter

"The situation today for women in the Pashtun areas is actually worse than it was during the Taliban time. Under the Taliban women were kept in burkas, in their homes, away from education. Today the same situation persists...but on top of that they also live in a war zone and women disproportionately suffer the effects of a war.The majority of civilian casualties have been women. Women that I actually talk to in these areas often say that they actually wish that the Taliban were back in power because even though their lives were a prison then they were at least kept free from bombs." -- Anand Gopal, Afghanistan Correspondent, Wall Street Journal

"The military occupation in Afghanistan has made the country more fundamentalist by legitimising the Taliban opposition and has made women suffer more." -- Sonali Kolhatkar

"Stop this war, because our people is very tired with this situation. And if they really want to help our people, we don't need more soldiers." -- member of RAWA

"They should leave Afghanistan. There will be peace and security. Afghanistan is not peaceful." -- Afghan woman

"We are human and we have same feelings, understanding, wishes for a better future." -- Shukria Barakzai, Member Afghan Parliament

"I don't believe and I don't expect any outside power to come and liberate me. If I cannot liberate myself, no one from outside can liberate me." -- Orzala Ashraf, Afghan Women's Network

The list you gave me is also addressed in this film:

"We got reports back that indeed that had been accomplished, that women had thrown off their burqas, gone back to school, gone back to work and things were wonderful for women. This is complete mythology. It didn't happen.....When it comes to issues of women, they are every bit as extreme as the Taliban. For most Afghan women you would have to say that although there have been improvements on paper, in the Constitution and international treaties, for most Afghan women life has stayed the same, and for a very great number life has gotten much worse. " -- Ann Jones, author Kabul in Winter

"Since the US invasion of Afghanistan, cosmetically, things have improved for women. Yes there are women in parliament now, yes there are driving schools and beauty schools for women, but really, if you look beneath the surface, has life improved for women in Afghanistan? Absolutely not." -- Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Journalist/Filmmaker

Please list five improvements that Afghan women have realized as a result of our intervention in their country. Shouldn't be hard for you since you believe in the cause so much.

Be specific.

One thing is for sure. You aren't.

You have to wonder at the mental processes, not to mention the baldfaced hypocrisy, needed to produce that moniker.
