Sleeping at Night
Sheila Astray has this pointed comment on this unfortunately familiar photo:
Feminists around the world had been screaming about the plight of the Afghan women under the Taliban for years. I had been one of those people. And now that the Afghan women are liberated, and the Taliban gone ... where are the feminists? They're taking their clothes off and spelling out "No to War", or holding up signs saying "Masturbate for Peace" at anti-war rallies. How do these women sleep at night, how do they reconcile this? Can they not at least acknowledge the success? Would they be jumping up and down with joy if a Democratic President had been in charge of making the Taliban disappear? If that is true, then again I ask: how do they sleep at night?
