        Cockburn was more enthusiastic about Afghanistan after the Soviets had effected liberalizing reforms - including an unprecedented drive to educate and elevate women. U.S., of course, supported restoring a fundamentalist Islamic regime under Gulbudden Hekmetyar. Poor afghanistan.

        And - it is nice to see the tradition of attacking A. Cockburn is going to continue under the new New Republic. I was going through a letter sent to the Voice protesting Cockburn's sarcasm about Marty Peretz back in 1975 - this is surely one of the great feuds.

        Thats not even Kabul but the universities within it, 90% didnt have women as openly immodest as this. Your view of right and wrong is irrelevant to what the people of Afghanistan think, so stay in your lane as they say.
