Dear Editor:
RE: Women of Afghanistan, Nov. 28.
In reference to Janet Calderwood’s letter, I sympathise with her opinions, but find her thoughts and solutions quite disturbing.
Her outpouring seems to end by targeting Afghanistan, suggesting we should interfere with their regime and culture to liberate their women. I do believe we already tried to do the “right thing” in Afghanistan and are still picking up the pieces in regards to our veterans and other involved personnel.
It is quite insulting to suggest that nobody tried to do anything and are unaware of the present situation and hardships within that regime.
I am sure there are lots of women in Canada that she could help without trying to start yet another conflict in places that we don’t belong and already paid a heavy price and continue to do so.
