I’m not one to take a political or religious stand.  I figure we’re all in this together, and unless somebody goes fanatic on me, I’m happy to leave them to their beliefs.  But this one deserves some notice.

According to many news reports I saw today, on Tuesday hundreds of Afghan women gathered to protest the kidnapping of American aid worker, Cyd Mizell, who was taken along with her driver, Abdul Hadi.  ”The demonstration by so many Afghan women in the conservative southern province of Kandahar was a rare display of women’s wishes,” says Associated Press Writer, Noor Khan.  This is true courage, strength, and power.  I stand in awe.
