Today, women and children make up the vast majority of war casualties. Rape is used as a weapon of war and has only recently been acknowledged as a war crime in some countries. Women for Women International supports women survivors of war with a program of recovery, job skills and rights awareness training that helps them to move from victim to survivor to active citizen. www.womenforwomen.org.uk

20+ aircraft waiting to depart ATL on March 10, 2008. Our CRJ was #2. The planes were lined up because of a 10 minute departure hold for VIP movement (V.P. Cheney was in town for a GOP fund-raiser).

Operation Blessing is a front for Evangelical Pat Robertson. The founder of Operation Blessing and the 700 Club has used funds and resources from Operation Blessing to support his 8 million dollar investment in a Liberian gold mine. He has also used OB as a platform to support Criminals and human rights violators like Liberia's Charles Taylor and Congo's Mobutu. Why were OB airplanes transporting mining equipment to the Congo when they were supposed to be shipping food and medicines? When you see videos like this please remember that OB is in fact a front for a hatemongerer who's greed knows to bounds. If you want to know more I suggest the following links. And as always dont take my word for it, do your own research. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-... http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-... http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/0... http://www.theperspective.org/patrobe...
