A Voice from RAWA: Zoya on Afghanistan
Barack Obama announced on Tuesday that the US would be sending 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. (No word on how many private contractors would be accompanying them.) He did not explicitly use the Afghan women as justification, but many politicians have, claiming that we cannot leave the women to their fate. Zoya is a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of RAWA, the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, and she joined us to talk about what would really be best for the women - and all the people - of Afghanistan. Zoya is a pseudonym and her face is obscured to protect her identity.

Does posting a duplicate post help, for any reason; or might once be sufficient?
Blip.tv has fine enough videos, but there's a weird thing that happens with these when viewing them with my Firefox 3.5.5 and Win 2000 setup. The voice is of normal speed, but the image doesn't follow; the latter's in not slow motion, it's in super-slow motion. Youtube and Google videos play as they should, and Laura Flanders has a channel at Youtube, but seems to hardly use it. Grit TV should make its videos available at more websites than only blip.tv to accomodate viewers for who blip.tv doesn't work as it should.
Also, blip.tv clips don't tell the viewer or visitor how long a video is until it's finished, or fully loaded anyway. We, I think anyway, can click on Pause to allow the video to fully load before playing it, as can be done with Youtube and Google videos, which tell viewers the duration of a clip right away, from the start of loading.
So this, so far, is two negatives against using only blip.tv. It's not as "user friendly" as some other video-providing websites are; and some fortunately are. If we want to increase our audience or public outreach, then we should try to also be accomodating.
I'm not liking blip.tv, but Zoya is a PROPHETESS. The Bible needs to be updated. If you've never heard God speak before, then listen to what she says; He speaks through her. If you don't recognise him throgh her words, then you're DEAF.
I hear God speak through atheists of sound soul. What's wrong with you, that you don't or can't?
God never wrote the Bible, btw. In the USA, we have [fanatics] pretending to be real atheists. I, however, have read from real atheists who never have been USA'n, may've never even visited the USA for short trip, and they clearly think, speak and write in seriously better, more intelligent, very intelligent ways; enough that a real Christian who's educated can see that there's not much difference with a truly thinking or thoughtful atheist. After all, religion is based on belief, not fact. Once we can truly accept the latter, then intelligent atheists are understandable, very. But God never wrote a single letter of Scripture for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. God is more [universal] than this, too.
Zoya is a [prophetess].
Blip.tv plays poorly in my Web browser, but the voice, audio is as it should be, so I got that part and the image is irrelevant. It's the words that are solely important in this interview.
