| | American Government Hypocrisy and the Invasion of Iraq |
 | | But the Americans continue to hold hundreds of PoW's from Afghanistan at their Guantanamo Bay prison, without charging them with a crime, and without giving them protection under international law. |  | | The Americans have claimed this invasion is to enforce the will of the international community, but in fact they have blatantly ignored the United Nation's Security Council's position that war is not called for at this time. |  | | However, on the subject of the invasion of Iraq they are wrong, dead wrong, and we should not support them when they are wrong. |

| | U.S. in Afghanistan Means Harsher Oppression for Women -- RW ONLINE |
 | | Shortly after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell self- righteously declared, "The rights of the women of Afghanistan are not negotiable." Life in Afghanistan for women today shows that this was just a lie to justify the crime the U.S. was about to commit. |  | | After the invasion of Afghanistan and the fall of the Taliban, women across the country thought they would get at least some limited freedom. |  | | It was inevitable that the U.S. and its allies would betray and make a mockery of their fine talk about women's liberation because their aim in invading Afghanistan in the first place was to further their own imperialistic interests, to control the region in the service of their global strategic objectives. |
