Eve Ensler - Bush and the War on Terror

[MrTmj1991]

send money to build schools....the Taliban is shaking in their boots!!!!!!!!!!

[ycdtotv]

How can she reference an interview that someone had with *suicide* bombers? Suicide bombers, by definition, are dead. Simply put, this is a hysterical woman ranting.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

just got to wonder how much she gives toward feeding people in the world. if she thinks that this will work then why dont she convince all of her liberal clowns to give up their wealth and feed the world. i am positive that algore with his billions invested in his carbon credit will pony up the 100 billion she would need to solve world poverty and starvation. by the way those starving around the world are in SOCIALIST liberal countries

[artizer]

Wow...they should give her a monument !

[steelstrings87]

I love you, Eve Ensler. Me and my little coochie snorcher.

[AWickedMind]

Gee, I bet those people on the plane bombs in 9/11 wish they would have thought to give those terrorists a sandwich. Then this entire situation could have apparently been avoided.

[ninegrid]

I think you mean that President Bush agreed with the liberals regarding the invasion of Iraq, the sales pitch was given by Clinton and Gore throughout the 1990's. Have a look at the 1998 Iraq Liberation Act... or search youtube for "Al Gore Iraq". Particularly entertaining, Al Gore blasting Bush Sr. in the primaries for ignoring Saddam's ties to terrorism and WMDs.

[shazam20007]

this smirking fatuous new age gal thinks she is owed by men even after being force fed privilege and advantge by the feminit system and typically implemented by their Familycourt - a latter day star chamber

are you a lunatic ! - Nah just an arrogant fatuous new age entitlement queen

[ycdtotv]

@shazam20007 She isn't owed anything by men. In fact, I don't think women in general are owed anything by men. They're already getting affirmative action, VAWA, child support, alimony, no fault divorce... what more do they want, exactly? And men are holding the short end of the stick in ALL of these matters, including having zero reproductive rights. My advice is for men to go their own way, seek their own happiness, build relationships with SANE women, and reject marriage.

[emlodik]

Eve Ensler is against the Bush Administration?!?!?! Well, you can knock me over with a feather!

[cait72590]

i agree with her to an extent. i agree about the spending a shitload of money on the war on terror part but i don't believe that all suicide bombers need is love. you can't just sum up why someone would do stuff like that.

[RomeAndMarty4Ever]

@cait72590 I couldnt agree more. Her solution to the war on terror is: "If you feed people, and love people, and care for people they wont kill you" If any liberal is reading this and wondering why people on the right and center think the left is a bunch of soft, unrealistic people living in some sort of fairy land this lady sums it up pretty well.

[Izquiodo]

You may feel empowered to be critical of her on youtube, but just because you have an opinion about her doesn't mean it's right. She understands things that most men will not understand, and has experiences that most have not encountered. We live in a patriarchal society. If you understand what that means, it is undeniable. She spoke of some important principles here.

[doctorDUKE911]

It takes courage to go against social norms. I commend her for being so strong,

[potatoeman56]

yes virginia, eve ensler is a lunatic.

[shballard]

Another "Sexual Intellectual".......a fu*king know-it-all.

[jollyroger1889]

like me, hold my hand, kiss my arse....or i'm gonna plant a bomb in your car. oh dear, this woman, like so many, is about as ignorant as they come.

[marklar74]

this woman has no concept of what's happened in history. she spouts all this garbage without taking into consideration what would happen if things were done her way- we'd be dead men (lol and women) walking. i'm sick of her mindset- lets vote out allll these dumocrat douchbags in 2010 and 2012 !!!!! she is so incredibly ignorant and wrong, and foolish as can be. bet she lives in san fran too.

[Letstrythisagain13]

trust i knew who is lady is and she is by far not ignorant,i met her and talked her & believe honey she is by far from that the one that is ignorant here is you!! I bet your a one of those stupid guys that just spouts out stupidity, Take a history class on what going on in the war and most importantly do some fucking research on EVE, FYI this is coming from one of her longtime supporters so I know what the fuck am talking about.

[marklar74]

you know her personally? i bet her gramatical skills are about as polished as yours. . If bush commited crimes , why wasn't he put in check by the system? because, he broke no laws! you say most importantly, to do research on ensler- i did- and what i learned from doing that was she's a MORON. 100% socialist propagandist. so, thanks for having me waste a 1/2 hour of my life on this imbicille. why don't you take advise from your own name and TRY THIS AGAIN !!!!!! jeech

[MargeSimpson20]

For some reason,her hair reminds me of Dawn French.

[marklar74]

barely. and that is no doubt the ONLY thing thats dawn french-like....

[marklar74]

also, your hair reminds me of a grain silo. lol just playin.

[jackieblum14]

how do you interview a suicide bomber? if they are a suicide bomber shouldn't they be dead?

[marklar74]

yes, they should and are. this tells you shes a f**ktard. she needs a dumbass intervention.

[cuddlesducks]

21st century neo-white man's burden, of which eve ensler is one of the most grotesque examples, may not cause anywhere near as much suffering as good old-fashioned 19th century white man's burden, but it's just as fucking retarded

[choctawplace]

Ms. Ensler, appeals to the most ignorant suburban demographic. She has made a fortune appealing to silly yahoos.

[Wilhelm95070]

This woman has a very bad case of "camel toe."

[OscarLimaMike]

Want some toilet paper to go with your "opinion" or are you gonna just let it drip on your chin?

[marklar74]

dude, thats.....just......why'd you have to say that???? ugh lol

[tigerone1970]

'AIDS in Africa' is BS.

Washington Post

(Available online.)

[jackieblum14]

btw the us spent $553 billion on k-12 education (not including college grants and scholarships) which is more than the $390 billion she said we spent on defense so i don't see how 6% of that is supposed to educate and feed provide people places to live... the truth is everything she says is designed to appeal to peoples emotions, but not their reasoning, which is why it's stylized, but really has not factual basis. ok i'm seriously done now i'm getting carried away.

[jackieblum14]

i cant get past the fact that she is basically saying that if we dont feed people or nurture people or love people then they have a right to hate us and kill us because we didn't do those things. it places the blame on the victim instead of the killer. her philosophy is one that is centered on guilt. she said "the legacy of colonialism, the legacy of genocide, the legacy of racism is in all of us." i do not accept that i am born guilty or that i am responsible for things which i had no part of.

[marklar74]

yea- i couldn't stomach the whole thing- she's so completely ass-backwards it's just not right. lucky for her she lives here, where she's free to spout her b.s all she likes. i suggest she goes to a sunday school session at the westburough baptist church in topeka, ks. her whacko-ness would fit right in there.

[jackieblum14]

i have to say one more thing because i just watched the video again, when she says "it is really simple if you feed people and love people and nurture people and care for people they won't kill you." basically she is saying if you force people to NEED you then they won't kill you because you are sustaining their life. it that doesn't create a sense of powerlessness like she talks about, i don't know what does.

[OscarLimaMike]

Read some history, hell you may even learn something Jackie! But somehow I doubt you have the capacity or the guts.

[marklar74]

.....shut up, douchebag.

[marklar74]

the douchebag comment is for oscarlosermike, f.y.i.

[jackieblum14]

this woman doesn't understand chronology, 9/11 happened before the US occupied Iraq or Afghanistan, so that can't possibly be the source of terrorism. Secondly, I cannot stand how she implies that because we don't spend our money feeding people and providing places to live and loving people who we have never met half way across the world somehow means, its our fault that they hate us. I think it is a wrong idea to fell obligated to take a burden on a world scale because you were born in America.

[capopascap17]

Jackieblum 14: I think what she refers to is the conflagration of terrorism since the Iraq and Afghanistan war. There is no figure on this earth that doesn't confirm that terrorist organizations have boomed since America invaded Iraq.

Also, in terms of America having a responsibility to the rest of the world. You're right, it doesn't necessarily have such an obligation.

[capopascap17]

However, since we abandoned our isolationist policies (briefly in WWI and permanently just before WWII) we have sought to spread democracy throughout the world, as seen most notably perhaps by our role in the Cold War as the world policeman of individual liberties, transparent government, and Western values across the world. We are not obligated, but we have chosen an interventionist foreign policy.

[capopascap17]

The thing is we only intervene militaristically which usually undermines our national security. What Ensler is saying is that if we are bent on intervening, then if we focused on world, human security, we would increase our national security far more than the wars we fight do.

[jackieblum14]

ensler SOUNDS very nice and compassionate, but her ideas are naive, foolish and dangerous. to assume that treating our enemies with pity and guilt is going to make them change their minds is unfounded. i believe in justice not "turn the the other cheek", i believe in answering force with force and dealing with people on their own terms. (answering with force is not reactionary if it is rational and thought out) i'm not blanketly defending iraq and afghanistan, but i don't agree with her.

[capopascap17]

I disagree with you but I definitely understand and see your point.

[WominOfColorBrenYLW]

This has got to be the dumbest woman I have ever heard... why the fuck is she so popular? She's a gd moron!!!

[Themanwithavan]

God I cannot listen to this stupid cunt anymore.

[xaajjaax]

"If you feed people, ..., they won't kill you!"

This is stupidly oversimplified. A great portion of humanity actually thrives on receiving undue kindness and not reciprocating it. You can't kill them with kindness, you're just feeding the beast.

To bumblybee: being a woman is no excuse for acting like the world revolves around women. Feelings are IRRATIONAL, INSTINCTIVE DRIVES that do not necessarily (often don't) benefit the individual. Our instincts come from apes. They don't work today

[xaajjaax]

Excessive reliance on emotion and intuition without any rational checks is the clearest indicator of immaturity and an undeveloped mind. As with every species, our instincts, which manifest as emotions and impulses, mislead us. They misled us in the jungle and they mislead us even more today. That is why we have a mind with which to reason. It acts as a filter for the nonsense, but only if you use it. The responsibility to develop and apply it falls on you and no one else. Ignore this fool (Eve)

[SHIMON48]

SENSATION! urgently look ALL! Obama or Osama?

[Hzqi]

I like the way she keeps on with the word "trust". Ensler, it would be really nice to see you "trust" your way into Utopia. Ensler, Saudi Arabia is a very wealthy, very well-off place. There's your Utopia. I'd like to see you "trust" your way into a peaceful nation, and then "trust" that you can preach to them about women's rights. I "trust" that you would, right?

Off you go, chop chop.

[Hzqi]

The interesting thing is that I agree to an extent with her foreign policy attitude. She's just so fucking naive. There should be less enthusiastic occupation going on. But Ensler is so warm and loving. What would she do about the extermination of whole villages by a hostile dictator? Send them love-letters on scented, recycled paper with a home-baked cookie? The very concept of occupation is sometimes loving. And unfortunately, sometimes exploitative.

This woman is a geo-political dolt.

[Hzqi]

Yes Ensler. You are a lunatic. Get educated on the behaviour of religious zealots operating in and around Europe. This woman has no idea about the mentallity of ideological radicals.

Looking after disadvantaged people is a great idea. This powder puff seems to think that the Dinosaur will be her friend if she throws it a bone. There are many COMPLEX motivations for the wrongs of the world. Ensler's "insight" amounts to wishful thinking. Well off people, war, over religion. PERIOD.

Hi BEE

[Hzqi]

If she's going to cite a figure like 60 billion to account for all the shortcomings, I'd like to her a source. Providing aid is a good way of establishing civil regions. But she seems to live in fairy floss lane, where if you do the right thing by people, they'll do everything right by you.

Tell me ENSLER. What would you say to the Lebonese, who provided refuge and shelter to fleeing Palestinians, who them gathered with the religious element pre-existing to overrun the very nation that helped

[pdg5333]

what a fucking fool

[Syle2222]

eve is an idiot. she bases her opinion on terrorism on "feelings" and "i believe so and so". she has no concept of how terrorism works/is formed/etc.

she has a niche pedestal to bellow from and she takes advantage of it. she is out to make a quick buck just like the next know-it-all-self-indulgent special-rights spokesperson.

if you like her message, that is fine, you are entitled to your opinion, but please, please, do some research on people like Eve and always keep some skepticism at hand.

[Bumblybee256]

How much money has she made?

She is a rape victim fighting against similar violations against women, Feelings are our best guide, they are extremely important and what are you without them? A robot?

[Hzqi]

And no, feeling are not our "best" guide. they are A guide, that needs to be corroborated with facts and intellectual insight. Many men have been on the recieving end of "women's feelings". Where they get a stupid idea in their head, the guy goes WTF?! DON'T DENY IT! I'm a woman! I trust my feelings! w00t.

"Part of what we know as women". "We keep not trusting". Her entire worldview is woman-centric. I'd love to put her in charge of it all for a week, and for a good laugh.

Facts > Feelings

[Bumblybee256]

Lol one of the reasons women live longer than men is because we express feeling more. It's healthy. If your coming from a perspective of helping rape victims etc yes, feelings are the best guide.She's a woman, idiot, of course she sees the world through the eyes of a woman and the world is out of balance, that's why it's in such a mess.

Facts>Feelings, lol you're a tool

[AntArt141]

The men who are suicide bombers have no wives and no money to see prostitutes. They are fundamentalists as they are taught primarily in religious schools. The people fighting in Iraq r not those who succeed in school or business. They are men from other countries & Iraq who were made for war.

Every generation of man has had warriors what makes this generation any different or more enlightened than those that preceded it?

Masturbation is taboo, polygamy legal, rich men have all the women.

[AntArt141]

If the same conditions existed in the Western World today it is safe to say that one could expect the same actions toward Islamic infidels with more lax moral values that invaded the west.

[gabbyx93]

I love her!

[Nconn360]

Cassandra...

[Dorian090]

Im a man and i like being me-i dont want to knwo what women think-

[Katinstl]

you ignorant conservatives are way scarier than terrorists...

[SirWinstonChurchill]

Another psycho-faggot-San Francisco-freakazoid...

[rangerdgd1]

WE WE WE...We could do all that shit...Feed everyone..Cloth everyone..Terrorism doesn't grow out of shaming or humiliation..The leaders of the most visible terrorists groups are all highly educated and professionals..She's full of shit..More garbage from a weak ass Lefty..She could feed everyone who is hungry,and 10% of them would STILL blow her ass up,or slice off her fucking head..In her case Maybe do something nasty like impale her through her Vagina monologue

[Htaem]

I see her lips moving but all i can hear is "im a man eater, make them work hard, make them spend hard, maaaaaaaaneater!!!

I know those aren't the real lyrics so no smart ass corrections please.

[akaCharlieG]

I see what you're writing but all I can read is "Ignorant" and "I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about and assume everyone that has anything to do with feminism is a man eater" and "I still haven't realized that a person can be right about one thing i.e. terrorism and wrong about another"

moron...

[Htaem]

Did ye ahhhh, is that all you could read, well diddy fuckin boo.

Read it again and il think you'll find i didn't say any of those things. Feminists = fat, ugly women without jobs or a husband.

[akaCharlieG]

I'll not waste my time trying to convince you of anything.

Some people just aren't worth the effort

[Htaem]

AAAAHHHHH, am i not worth the time, am i not? Well go off and have a little cry for yourself and huff and puff about how i didn't listen and you gave up, maybe you'll feel better.

[akaCharlieG]

does it make you feel better? throwing around childish insults via youtube comment? Do you walk away from your computer feeling as if you've accomplished something?

seriously... "have a little cry for yourself and huff and puff about how I didn't listen"

how old are you?

[Htaem]

Check my profile and see how old i am you nimrod and yes, yes i do feel quite good about myself because after all i suckered you into commenting again after you said you wouldn't, ha ha.

[SirWinstonChurchill]

Htaem: "Feminists = fat, ugly women without jobs or a husband."

Five star comment!

Obama Bin Biden = lawn jockey for the welfare plantation.

Moderate Muslum = out of bullets

Islamic birth control = bomb strapped to ten year old

[Htaem]

Finally someone with a bit of cop on, take a bow Winston.

"Moderate Muslum = out of bullets"

haha, well said.

[StarWatch]

Which part was the Truth?

Where she says " Am I a Lunatic"

Ok yeah I guess she is right there, She IS a Lunatic.

[jerryfoster41]

Vietnam Iraqistanran deja vu again 100 more years but they're never gonna win-US out now

[IshtarQueen]

wow!

she should be the president of u.s!!

for a change the u.s would have a president telling the truth!!!

:D

[StarWatch]

"Queer" +"Swede "

Isn't that a redundancy.

Aren't all Swedes Queer?

LOL!

[QueerSwede]

She´s the best.

[StarWatch]

LOL!

Because people Invade their Homelands

Humm!

So does that stand for Israel as well??

Or is she an anti-Semite as well as being

Anti-Male.

LOL!

But she is right on one subject and that is Bush should not have tried to force the BS of feminist values down the throats of the Afghans. Because that is not a Value that the world needs anymore of.

[hadeeelj]

of course she is also speaking about israel. israel is OCCUPYING Palestinian territory. That doesn't make her an anti-semite, it makes her a REALIST/anti-zionist. Theres a difference.

[Sigil23]

Israel has just as much of a "right" to the territory as Palestine; which is to say it doesn't have a right to it. It's funny how people think of land as some commodity that can be bought, sold, and monopolized. That being said, kudos for knowing the difference between anti-semite and anti-Zionist. Too many people use the terms as if they were interchangeable. I, for one, am anything but an anti-semite, while at the same time I would consider myself vehemently anti-Zionist.

[wilde1studio]

Ditch the anti-semite bullshit already. If you know your history and the Bible, Arabs, Anglo-Saxons and other ancient peoples background can be traced to Shem, the son of Noah. Therefore there are many groups of non-Jews who could technically be considered 'Semites'. Conversely, not all Jews ancestry can be traced to Shem, but to the other sons of Noah, Japeth and Ham. The anti-semite label is a ploy to shut people up so they won't criisize Israel

[robertbordei]

you can fed the of the world for all time the will still want more. and the terriots will still kill becasue that is what they do. the arab world hates isreal and we support isreal there for the arab world hates us. thats just how it is. you can not keep everybody happy . ps your a libral bitch

[gyppen1010]

First of all...all major religions preach love and peace. It's the extremists who warp the religions.

Secondly: Eve Ensler is not just a playwright (acknowledged as a VERY good one by the way), she is a major force behind V-Day which is a movement to stop violence. For ten years this movement has studied statistics on violence of all kinds from all over the world in order to stop it all.

Don't you think someone with THESE credentials might just know a bit about what she's saying? Maybe?

[editme2]

I can't stand Eve Ensler. She's just a blow hard. What qualifies her to speak about governmental policies? She's a playwright, and a terrible one at that. And she's wrong when she says that if you just love and respect people, they won't kill you. Islamic fundamentalists are guided by their warped religious views, not their hearts. And they will kill you to fulfill Allah's mission. She really should just shut up.

[sostav]

One of the most progressive people I ever saw.

[trevor388]

you say it sistah. eve for prez.

[lalasof]

I agree with her!! things are simple. Violence could never be the solution.

[rileymayhem20]

The environment, i did not wanna go down this road because its that straight lunacy. I don't subscribe to the religion of environmentalism. Its a sole, empty movement that give meaning to those who life has no meaning what so ever. The irony is environmentalist kill more if you stop to think about it.

[rileymayhem20]

lets get hamas and Ahmadinejad a hug.. get real, these people will stop at nothing to blow you and my head off. Sorry for the graphic details but thats is real as it gets.

[PereztiToaleay]

Muslims would leave people alone if we would stop supporting Israel and stop supporting Islamic dictators. Iraqis kill Americans b/c we are there. If China invaded the US, would you just say think you China for liberating me from Fascism, or expect the west to save us?

[rileymayhem20]

Thats just unrealistic.. American will never stop supporting Israel.

[PereztiToaleay]

Answer: If China invaded the US, would you just say think you China for liberating me from Fascism, or expect the west to save us?

Stop shouting "realism"and work towards how things should be. With a realist view, Jews would still be slaves in Egypt.

[rileymayhem20]

China and the US is a no comparison. The US is apart of the "free world" and its our duty into no only defend our self however be the leaders in spreading democracy. Europe has been getting fat while the US (and Britain) had been going hard in the fight against extremists. France is getting on the ball and we are winning btw.

[PereztiToaleay]

Okay this one actually happened,

Islamic terrorist attack the US (9/11), should the US allies respond or should they do nothing. What happpened? They helped in Afghanistan. We attack Iraqi (a Muslim country), Muslims flood into help.

[rileymayhem20]

Al Qaeda came to Iraqi instead of going to fight this battle on American Cities. Its a carrot and stick diplomacy. Liberia and N. Korea are coming around. There been alot less LED's coming from Iran. The locals are fighting with us. Iraq is getting back on it feet. Sad to say it going to take the Bush Doctrine however when we are senior citizens our kids will learn how much of a hero our president was for standing up to the greatest threat of out time.

[PereztiToaleay]

The greatest threat of our time is environmental destuction. "There been alot less LED's coming from Iran." Yet neocons adovcare its unilateral invasion. What is wrong with Muslims helping Muslims fight invaders? Our allies helped fight our attackers.

[rileymayhem20]

The environment destruction of what? What dose that have to do with Iraq?

[PereztiToaleay]

I am stating that such is a greater threat than terrorism "our president was for standing up to the greatest threat of out time." I see nothing that Bush has done for the environment besides subsidize it destruction.

[Speshoholic]

re. the suicide bombing bit:

i find it interesting how the Israelis somehow dont come into play with her talk... considering it is their land that they purchased. nobody was forced to sell it and if you dont agree with me that's fine, but reality is not an opinion. look it up. nobody is invading the palestinians' land because they no longer own it.

secondly suicide bombing is unforgivable. i cant beleive she and you are actually sympathizing with murderes.

have a good one.

[PereztiToaleay]

Israel technically has no right to exist. The British gave it to Israel. The Palestinians Islamic nations should have had a referadum on it in like 1947. And selling your land when a tank is pointed at you is not free will.

[quitejaded]

You are ridiculous. You would rather look for the murders and kill them after they kill than actually UNDErSTANDING them so less murderers will even APPEAR? It's not that she is sympathizing. She is REALIZING WHY they do what they do. If you eliminate WHY they are doing it they wont DO IT. Get it?? This is why beating your children doesn't work. Same principle.

[funktastic1986]

Ah the collosal ignorance, decadence, and arrogance of the average upper middle class American women who thinks she can bribe people with a Medieval mindset. Hey eve, the 9/11 hijackers were from well off Saudi families, theres something a little deeper going on here then economics.

[avadiva]

one day you will realize you comment is ignorant

[mxdpoet]

Great video. The Bush administration has never been interested in the well-being of women and this is evidence by his domestic and foreign policy. Look at his record on: 1) sliding-scale benefit cuts to Social Security which disproportionately harm widows; 2) weakening the the Family and Medical Leave Act; 3) the global gag rule on international reproductive health services for women, etc.

[relarerfhjk]

MXdpoet no youre examples do not rpove Bush is anti-women at all. Social security cuts harm husbands of deceased wives also, and the family and medical leave act was being abused by lazy people, many women supported this change, and reproductive servies/ I think you mean to say, child-killing Bush is correct to cut funding to organistations that murder unborn children thats because of his pro-life principles nothin to do with womens rights

[rockyracune]

Where are the Western feminists? Did you know that the female-hating Taliban is forcing some produce vendors to segregate the male and female vegetables in separate produce bins? That is how moronic many Muslim men are! The Taliban will not even allow women to visit a male (or female) doctor, because somehow the female form should be covered at all times. So men force women to wear that stupid burqa and are beaten if they fail to do so. Muslim men are insane, and feminists are MIA. Phonies!

[relarerfhjk]

this lady is an idiot, sadly. i agree with her about the lies used to justofy colonisation of Iraq's oil and Aghansitan's gas pipelines but how dare she say Bush is anti-women because he opposes abortion, many WOMEN oppose abortion!!i support womens rights in every sense, but i do not support one humans right to take nother humans life. this woman is an ignorant twat

[ladyrainx]

I think it would be safe to say bush is ani-HUMANITY. Anyone directly responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent people and manipulation of an entire country is.

[relarerfhjk]

err yea but Eve Ensler is a fuckin idiot for saying anti-abortion makes Bush anti-women there are many women, including feminists like Naomi Wolf, and Naomi Klein who oppose abortion on the grounds it is murder. Abortion is not a simple issue of "rights" as Ensler makes out. But I agree about Bush i hate him too

[PereztiToaleay]

I am pro-woman, yet I am going to force her to do something that could ruin her career, and her livlihood. You make a lot of sense.

[relarerfhjk]

PerezttiToaley, no the woman made a choice when she chose to have sex with someone, knowing sex leads to babies. Adults take responsibility for choices. You think it would ruin her career?

Ah, so its OK to murder the unborn child instead. You moron. What a strong moral fibre you have. Life is very cheap in your world. And women shouldnt take responsibility for choices, or for children they help create.

[PereztiToaleay]

Point made, but is violence the only answer, no, and this going on with pro-woman Bush having invaded the innocent Afghan land.

[Alien1099]

What an ignorant twit. So she read a figure but doesn't say where or who, but takes it as the gospel. The US spends billions on AIDS research and relief/aid to other countries. 60 billion will not feed and satiate the thirst of the planet either. The billions that the USA spends on National Defense insures she can run her mouth as much as she wants. Her socialist utopia dream is nothing but that, dream.

[swingbabu2006]

There is a great movement going on among educated brilliant westerners. Which is not to send food cloth and medicine to third world. Instead provide people in those parts of the world with technology, ideas and assistance to create those necessities of life, on their own. And none of the christian charity shits work for this kind of things. They build churches and recruit poor people to increase christian population. But guess what you are f*cked.

[swingbabu2006]

And about charity, listen this you idiots. 90% of the money given to charity goes to promote religion or stolen for some selfish purposes. You christian fundamentalist as* holes you dumb idiots send money to charity to make other people's life miserable not better.

[swingbabu2006]

She is great. All those christian fundamentalist mo-fus, fck off. You guys are DUMB shits. Listen to the great brains in this world. Most of these christian fundamentalists are some stupid historians sitting and reading some parts of world history and blah blah about this and that. They never even leave their home town or even never tried to understand other culture.

Very well done! Too bad you couldn't beat the 'Bush' a little more!

[Midex]

What she is talking about to appease terrorism is the world accepted viewpoint pre-911. Then we had what is now known as Bush Doctrine - that you cannot appease terrorism because it is a "murderous ideology". The sooner people wake up to the absurdity of Bush preemptively mass murdering innocent people and the fact (although not pertinant) that 911 was an inside job - well the sooner you can help us end this WAR THAT WILL LAST A 100 YEARS.

"Call me crazy"? OK, she is. Islam is empowered by terrorism. Had Islamic war mongers not been stopped at Vienna, Europe would be under Islamic rule. SEE the video: "Islam - What the West Should Know." Our charities gifts to others exceed any other two countries combined. That's not counting the political gifts of bales of money.

She should stick with what she knows best. Hmmmm, come to think about it - that's one of the oldest driving forces of politics.

The obvious: she MIGHT be incorrect, but name-calling is not debate, ridicule does not trump reason.

You cant scare ppl willing to die for a cause, so THINK.

"Is there legitimate grievance? why?" is not stupid question.

Whining about terrorism is lame, grow up. Life is tough.

People (who you dont like) fighting you = terrorism.

Has she even seen their holy books like... EVER?!

[karmaforreal]

I love listening to women like this speak the truth. Only problem is Bush's ideology and other demons that think just like him are built on greed and the destructive and delierus affects of power and power mongering.

[wwwPNACATTACKcom]

That's true. It would become true already before 70's.

Ensler claims that life for American women is like under the Taliban (see "Afghanistan is everywhere" linked from her Wikipedia page). It's obvious why feminists are so unhappy: they listen to endlessly whining crackpots like this.

[AccidentalPresidency]

No, feminists are unhappy because of people with exactly this attitude. Contrary to popular belief, feminists are not men-hating monsters who aspire to rid the globe of the Y-chromosome. I mean, please, spare me the sensationalized media representations.

As far as I'm concerned, she's not fighting to destroy men, she's fighting to destroy ignorance and apathy. Which, if most comments on this video are anything to go by, is an uphill task.

[horsie111]

How many women has Bush liberated in Afghanistan and Iraq? Why does the "feminist" left ally itself with Islamofascists who see women as evil? Probably because they don't realize how good they have it in their own country, which they hate, and can't stop whining. What these feminists should try doing is shut up once in a while: I'm sure they'll be all the happier for it!

[gearzone2611]

ROFL Is she's telling the Bush Administration to feed the hungry, thirsty, malnutrition, etc.. in the world? Billion of dollars and some countries helping this needy people from their daily life. Is she's talking a One Whole picture? Or just One mini-circle picture? Coz, the Idea doesn't fit with it. Again, Stop hating men. Value the moral conduct. Not brain-washing them from your own positive thinking without the proper thoughts. Delicious, gotta eat my 'double whopper with cheese no pickles'.

[AmzabMO2]

What are you talking about? How was it that her message was so badly interpreted?

[TietCanhVit]

What would you do, when these suicide terrorists blew themselves up in OUR land in the 9/11 ?

[Midex]

What terrorists? According to the official story (which gullibles believed) 19 men acted alone and without assistence. So fo the actions of 19 men you wage a war on the rest of the world? They are gone mate. And if you looked into 911 you´d see that your own government did 911 you fool.
