Mongolian women should talk to someone who gives a damn

Mongolia, a supposedly democratic nation (we know about those), is a place in which women say they do most of the work, but men make all of the decisions. Mongolian women are significantly under-represented in the political field (still familiar, isn't it?), and face serious issues of poverty and domestic violence (well, there you are).

Apparently, the women in Mongolia are not aware that American women face many of these same problems. At any rate, they wasted their collective breath yesterday when they appealed for help to...Laura Bush. Maybe they should have checked first with Afghan women or Iraqi women, or for the remaining non-brain-dead women in America.

If there are any Mongolian women reading this, take heed: Laura Bush is the number one supporter of the man whose policies opened the door for the deaths of thousands of African women and children, and for the poisoning of thousands of American children. This is the man whose mission is to make the rich richer, chip away steadily at women's rights, and kill and maim unknown numbers of Iraqi women and children.

Maybe you need to think this through.
