May 13 - With Iraq exploding in fresh violence every day, the Bush
administration likes to cite Afghanistan as a model of what is
possible. Laura Bush made a secret visit to the country on March 30 to
meet with 800 women in a dormitory built with U.S. aid at Kabul
University, where they are living while they train to be teachers. When
she returned, she appeared on the Jay Leno show to say how encouraged
she was about the progress Afghan women had made since American bombs
toppled the repressive Taliban regime. "I didn't see any women in
burqas," she said.
