Please do read this, and add your prayers for these poor women.
What was it some great American once said, "Give me Liberty or give me
death"! A study in reality. This is NOT a joke. Please take your time and

Subject: Miss America vs. Miss Afghanistan
On the left is Katie Harmon, Miss America, wearing the swimsuit she chose
for the competition.
On the right is a typical Afghan girl, wearing the heavy smothering burqua
as required by the oppressive Taliban regime. Miss America is a junior at
Portland State University, hoping to eventually get a Master's degree in
Bioethics.
Miss Afghanistan is forbidden from receiving any education at all, and
cannot read or write. Miss America has worked as a lab assistant at both the
Oregon Health Sciences University and the University of Puget Sound.
Miss Afghanistan is forbidden from working. Miss America's father is an
engineer. Her mother is a teacher.
Miss Afghanistan's father was shot by a gang of Taliban militants. Her
mother begs for bread scraps since she cannot work or remarry. Miss America
wowed the judges by singing a Puccini aria, "O Mio Babbino Caro".
Miss Afghanistan is forbidden from singing or even listening to music of any
kind. Miss America will be traveling the nation nonstop during her reign.
Miss Afghanistan cannot leave her house without a male family member, cannot
drive, and cannot be out after dark. Miss America is an advocate for breast
cancer research.
Miss Afghanistan cannot be treated by a male doctor, and for all practical
purposes has no access to medical treatment of any kind. (The Taliban will
not allow women doctors to practice.)
Miss America can date, marry, or divorce anyone she chooses.
Miss Afghanistan will be stoned to death if caught in the company of a male
outside of her family. She is likely to be sold into an arranged marriage
to a man who already has two wives.
Miss America wears sunscreen on the beach to keep from burning.
Miss Afghanistan cannot live in a house with windows unless they are painted
black. Since she must wear a burqua outside, her pale translucent skin has
not seen a ray of sunlight in years.
Miss America could have been disqualified if her swimsuit did not meet
pageant standards.
Miss Afghanistan can be flogged if the holes in the mesh covering her face
are too large.
Miss America will decide how many children, if any, she wants to have.
Miss Afghanistan will be pregnant 3-4 times more often than Miss America.
Unfortunately, her babies are 25 times more likely to die in the first year.
One out of four will not see their 5th birthday.
Miss America is majoring in speech communications at PSU.
Miss Afghanistan is forbidden from speaking in public.
Miss America is 21. Since the U.S. life expectancy for women is 80, she's
still a very young woman.
Miss Afghanistan is also 21. But since the life expectancy for an Afghan
woman is 43, next year she will be "over-the-hill".
(Besides having a shockingly short life expectancy overall, Afghanistan is
one of the only countries in the world in which women have a shorter life
expectancy than men).
Miss America is a beautiful, intelligent woman and everyone knows it.
Miss Afghanistan could be a beautiful, intelligent woman... but nobody will
ever know it.
God Bless Miss America
God Help Miss Afghanistan
"In all that lies before us, may God grant us wisdom,
and may He watch over the United States Of America."

THINK ABOUT IT!
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured
1,000; President Clinton promised that those responsible
would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military
personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would
be hunted down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and
injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised
that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and
injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those responsible
would be hunted down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39
U.S. sailors; Clinton promised that those responsible
would be hunted down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 7,000 people in New
York and Washington, D.C. that are now dead would be Alive today.
AN INTERESTING QUESTION:
This question was raised on a Philly radio call-in show.
Without casting stones, it is a legitimate question.
There are two men, both extremely wealthy.
One develops relatively cheap software and gives billions of
dollars to charity.
The other sponsors terrorism.
That being the case, why is it that the Clinton Administration
spent more money chasing down Bill Gates over the past eight
years than Osama bin Laden?
THINK ABOUT IT!
It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8 Million for her
forthcoming memoir.
Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir yet to be written.
This from two people who have spent the past 8 years being unable to
recall anything about past events while under oath!
Incredible!
