Regardless of how we view the Muslim culture it is THEIR culture. We have no right to jump on them for what they are doing in their own borders. We would react violently to anyone doing the same to us. It is when they bring it out and try to destroy what they feel is wrong, that they face military response. The events of 9-11 are an example. The Taliban has been oppressing women from their beginning. We did not invade. We did invade when Bin Laden attack our culture with violence. And that’s what it was too. He tried to destabilize us because of the affect the United States has on the world and in particular his world. Committing acts of violence against a people to forward an agenda, whether it’s to stop terrorism or free women, is wrong. I am sure Bin Laden thinks what he did is a justifiable act to free HIS people from Western cultural influences. He has no right to come over here and commit an act of violence against us just because he thinks what we are doing is wrong. By the same token we should not fly over there and bomb them into the Stone Ages because of the mistreatment of their people. And we didn’t. We did it because he was not content to just voice his opinion. NO one says you have to follow the United States. You do not have to treat your people fairly for us to have diplomatic relations. The United States has always tried to be negotiable. Ask China. Again I do NOT support the idea of women being subjugated OR the slaughter of innocent people. For Bush to try and rationalize the USA’s action with liberation of Afghan women tells the world that what we deem to be “unfair” deserves a response from our allies and us. And that message is too vague and broad to be acceptable.
