Letter to Daily Iowan about Oct. 5 event

In Afghanistan, the "good war" is going badly; the "war of necessity" is believed by most Americans to be not worth fighting; the war against "those who attacked us on 9/11" is being waged against the Afghan people rather than either Saudis or Al Qaeda members who are now said to be in Pakistan. And the war we were told we were fighting against women's oppression is opposed by the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA).

Zoya, a RAWA member, will be speaking about Afghan women's resistance to both U.S. occupation and Taliban fundamentalism on Monday, Oct. 5, in the Pappajohn Business Building, Room W10. This event is sponsored by the Afghan Women's Mission, the UI Antiwar Committee, and the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance. Please join us for this important discussion.
