The CIA is using what works, I doubt they care if its sexist or not, they seem to only care about what works and gets results in theater. The CIA has no authority in the USA IIRC.

I don't think anyone questions what is done overseas...my impression from Grace's post is that it shows up even MORE how unfairly sexual medications are handled at home.

Have a boo at the link here and you'll see what is meant.

Doesn't that just fry you. Our Federal Government is only too happy to dispense Viagra for men, but if a woman needs access to birth control . . . . . forget about it.

Read it and weep - http://www.thehour.com/story/461807

EDIT:

I remember some 40 years ago when the State of Connecticut would not allow doctors to prescribe any form of birth control for married couples. Fortunately that was resolved in 1965, by the U.S. Supreme Court in Griswold v. Connecticut. Maybe we need to do it again.

I agree there is alot of BS laws here in the USA but it has nothing to do with what CIA ops are doing over seas.

I read somewhere that good ol' Al Kaiduh was trying to keep the kids from getting some kind of immunizations-mumps or pox?

They were at their evil best telling everyone that it was some kind of Western voodoo....

The problem with OUR beliefs and rules regarding BC, Sterilization, Circumcision is the effing immaturity that we have used to set the standards that we now have as 'law'.

I seem to remember that women wanted to be unemcumbered - get your mind out the gutter

- by all the stuff and rules that were part of society before.

They wanted free love, their bodies back, buring bras, equality and everything else - the same stupidity that causes the rifts in society and laws aren't really the best things that the female part of the population were gunning for.

Don't complain about it, get some strong honest politicians who have va-jay-jays in office to get the point across and your REAL RIGHTS restored.

KT,

Mall?

What, besides a towel rack, does a 4 hour overdose of Viagra good for? He means Bed, Bath and Beyond!

P.S. And there is no makin' you women happy anyway.

If Viagra wasn't given to men to "Fill the Niche", we'd get kicked out of the house anyway.

MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!

Theyld be complaining if the CIA was over there handing out birth controll and performing free abortions, even though the CIA cannot legally operate, no pun intended, inside the USA

Gentlemen - I put to you a question. Do you truly think it is right and proper for the Government of The United States of America to be pushing Viagra? And if you do think this is proper, do you not think that this same government agency should warn the women soon to be targets of those receiving the drug?

I dont think it is right or proper for the government to push any pharmaceutical or any medical procedure onto anybody, here or abroad.

However, the CIA is not forcing or pushing the Afgans to accept or take Viagra.

Is it wrong, Im going out on a limb and say yes, but that would be judging another culture

LOL,

Do you think it's right for the US of A to allow drugs to be sold here in the states that cause shortness of breath, anal bleeding, light headedness, death, high blood pressure, 4 hour erections, death if you smoke, and on and on?

The US spends millions of dollars on outlawing and controlling a drug that gives you the munchies and makes Jerry Seinfeld funny, yet they let the medical community prescribe drugs that make a man grow hair but a woman cannot handle if they are pregnant?

This is one reason I wish the Russians had taken over the world.

More government, Less stupid citizens.
