| Via Pictures: A Picture Paints a Thousand Words |
As much as I hate the thought of our military being used in "the war on terror", I can't help but hope that an image such as this one make some of the oppressed women in these countries wake up. Seeing a woman not only as an individual, not just chattel that passes from her father to her husband, not someone to be covered up because of male shame, not someone subject to the backward, superstitious nonsense of a misogynistic religion, but a human being that will carry a rifle and will fight to keep from being any of those things.
Maybe one day there will be an "Arab Spring" of sorts for women and they will stand up and refuse to be treated like this any more.
