We suffered a tough loss at the national level with Mr. Bush getting four more years in office. Although it's been difficult watching as this president has made a debacle out of the war in Iraq, jeopardizing the lives of the precious women and men in uniform, I see a light at the end of the tunnel in that there are only three more years (?) left for this dictator (there are rumblings that an impeachment would be in order for his wiretapping incident). However, instead of focusing on his negative influence on America and our economy, morale, and international stand, we need to unite as a community more than ever and hold accountable all legislators and elected officials to ensure that women and LGBT individuals are being considered for equal rights in all decisions being made.

"Women and War" provides updates on women and their plight (or successes) in the war in Iraq. The impact is far reaching, from the female soldiers serving over in Iraq, to female co-workers helping pick-up the slack from their reservist counterparts who have been deployed to Iraq, to the partners of the soldiers serving in Iraq, and, of course, to the Iraqi women and children.

I will focus primarily on the war in Iraq since they have suffered tens of thousands of civilian deaths during Mr. Bush's war, resulting in the innocent killing of thousands of innocent women and children (and men) on the streets of Iraq (Iraqis and Americans). Our focus after the unfortunate 9/11 tragedy should have been to target the terrorists who perpetrated that outrageous atrocity – going after Al Qaeda and its forces. Instead, we (I say “we” loosely) went after a dictator of a country who had no involvement with our losses on 9/11 (as confirmed by the 9/11 Commission), and who didn't even have the weapons of mass destruction, which this administration used to justify his selfish war. This site can also be found by browsing through "Women's Studies."

"Other Political Fronts" will list links to stories of interest regarding both women's issues and LGBT issues as seen in politics.
