Let JG keep rambling about "national security", so long as our brave soldiers are doing their best to save Afghan men and especially women from the terrible atrocious regime of the Taliban.
Can you imagine living in a world where women must cover completely and are not allowed to study, to work or leave home without a male-guardian? Can you imagine living in a world where women can be arbitrarily stoned to death for allegations of associating with a man, or for being raped? Can you imagine living in a world where music is forbidden? where beards are mandatory? where it is not safe to venture out without a rifle?
While dismissing the "national security" and "terrorist" claims as nonsense, as a member of the Australian public I do hail our soldiers in Afghanistan, pray for them and wish there were more of them there, so their holy mission to free the Afghani people can be successful.
