Liberation was just a big lie .
I did not see her when she was here in Halifax (had a class, and they are booked 6-9 months in advance - so no way to change) .
Hope someone gives me her book for Christmas.
She wants all the troops out of Afghanistan . She says in the article:
Yes, she says, there is a risk of civil war, as happened when the Soviet Union gave up the fight against U.S.-backed Afghan Islamists 20 years ago. But it would still be better than "night raids, torture and aerial bombardment" that killed hundreds of Afghan civilians while the Taliban made steady gains.
"Liberation was just a big lie." Joya believes Afghans are now better prepared to battle the Taliban alone – if the warlords are disarmed, and the international community helps build a society that can push back against extremism.
I so want Canada to be working for peace, again, and not engaging in war. It was why Remembrance Day troubled me so much this year.Have a nice day.

Ms. Joya is truly an inspiration and I am glad that there are such role models for my five year old daughter in this world.
