Kathy Kelly of Voices for Creative Nonviolence on Afghanistan and Pakistan
Host Cecil Prescod interviews Kathy Kelly, of Voices for Creative Nonviolence. In early June she returned from over a month in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Several articles written by Kathy and Joshua Broiler are on the group's web page: http://vcnv.org .
Kathy says "it's what do people in Afghanistan want. There's real fear of the Taliban, but people ask why
the U.S. invaders and their warlord clients should run the country. There are an estimated 850 children dying every day (see Save the Children, http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/en/41_a-child-dies-every-two-minutes-in-afghanistan.htm). Meanwhile, we're spending $1 million per year just to deploy one
soldier."
