Schools torched. Classrooms hit with poison gas. Acid thrown in their faces. Girls risk life and limb to learn even as attacks by insurgents mount. You can help: The Afghan Women Empowerment Act would fund educational opportunities and keep them safe.

I signed but you do realize that our gov never gives away money in aid. They "loan' at horrendous interest rates and then ask for the money back which of course they cannot pay. That leaves them completely indentured to the USA gov.

I'm glad that people are signing through your news Tom when they weren't interested in doing it through mine! I'm deeply sorry that these girls are at such a risk yet with all the people on care2 so few sign these petitions.

Let's have a look at WHO trained and built up the fundamentalist misogynist terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan:

Oh, look, it was the U.S. government and their CIA ; ) What a surprise! : P

If you don't elect imperialist governments in the USA, we wouldn't have to clean up the human rights mess you make!!!

The key lesson we can learn here is to stop supporting capitalist-imperialist political parties (e.g. the USA's "Republicans" and "Democrats", Australia's "Liberal Party" and "Labor Party", the UK's "Conservative Party" and "Labour Party", etc.)...

...and start joining and supporting anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist parties (e.g. the USA's Socialist Workers' Party, Australa's Socialist Alliance, and the UK's Scottish Socialist Party). : )

Simon, when you point your finger at someone else, three of your fingers are pointing back at yourself:

Let's have a look at WHO destroyed the indigenous people of Australia and created the devastating abuse suffered by Aboriginal women and children and the widening discrepancies between their lives and those of other Australians:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article6627906.ece

Oh, look, it was the Australian government! ;) What a surprise! :P

If you don't elect imperialist governments in Australia, we wouldn't have to clean up the human rights mess you make!!!

The key lesson we can learn here is that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. :)

Put another way, clean up your own back yard before complaining about the mess in someone else's. :P

True indeed Tom. I feel Simon is acknowledging, not in those exact words, that the Labor and Liberal parties in Australia are part of his list. Signed a while back now. Catching up....
