Afghan student sentenced to death for reading about women's rights

Me too, Sylvie.

That's great, i'm so glad that the petition worked.

Aren't we bringing democracy to Afghan. Oh yeah not enough troops. I forgot.

incredulous - "WarFarris--Uhh, last time I checked, get on a plane and do something about it was part of the job description we are all paying Bush for.

--and this little site here on Current was created for the purpose of NOT shutting the hell up...but you are welcome to take your own advice."

here here! this world needs more free speech bastions like this site!

I'm speechless about this. signed.

Would'nt this be Afghanistans fault? You people blame Bush for everything lol. Take some responsibility. Get on a plane and go save the man, or shut the hell up.

i believe where an article appears on current is in relation to it's greenlights...this one has been redlighted by some people so i think that has something to do with where it appears. not sure tho

The treatment of women in Iraq and Afghanistan is a disgrace as well as these insane execution sentences .
Sadly, it reminds me of texas, but not as extreme of course.

and eat their brains, of course.

you see, everyone? and this is a US backed "democratic" government no less! which recieves billions in aid from YOUR tax dollars! we need to leave the region, bring our troops and the trillions we're spending in this ridiculous war home, invest in renewable resources and GET OFF OIL so we can watch these disgusting fascists crumble!

seriously , why cant our troops do a search and rescue
aka the f u in the a , manuver president with the last name bush have been doing it for years!! lets save this girl man!!! ive sighned

if Bush wants to make good, he needs to use this as a PR case and at least make a public statement condeming the student's sentence.

Seriously though. I'll sign the petition.

Okay, darn Starbucks.

signed... forwarded

...I expected more responses than this. This is more important than Starbucks closing 100 stores.

i am also intersted to know why it is that this article was found on page two, and a story about annoying movies coming out was on page one...

i hope who ever was responsible is a little ashamed of themselves...

So this is the democracy that bush has instilled in this country that we invaded, thats great. "Mission Accomplished"

Man, I just sent this to all my co-workers here at Apple as well as my Dad at Dell for him to forward it and I just signed it, hopefully the majority of the people I forward this article to will follow suite.

What a disgrace.

why are our soldiers dying for this government if they consider this to be justice?

Signed. Where's the "Democracy" Bush?

I just signed this petition, and I urge everyone to do the same.
