We just comemmorated 50 years since the Tibetan women's uprising, a non-violent display of protest where 15,000 Tibetan women took to the streets of Lhasa, unarmed, to oppose the Chinese occupation. There's a great documentary about the protest called <a href="http://womenoftibet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=42&Itemid=42" rel="nofollow">A Quiet Revolution</a> that shows on PBS sometimes, you can see a trailer and buy a copy at that site.

Who is "we" and what makes you think that you sitting in the US can train Afghan women who have been struggling for their concerns longer than you have been alive? to ouch, above, “I hope we are supplying them with arms/training, although I doubt it.”
