DESCRIPTION:The currency of the issue and our members' expressed level of concern at 
 our last two events have both informed our decision to show the rest of the 
 latest documentary film by Robert Greenwald, "Rethink Afghanistan." On 
 Sunday, November 22 we will, as with our September event, begin at 5:30 PM 
 with a potluck dinner, and follow with more of this remarkable 
 film.\n\nBack in September only the first few parts of the film had been 
 released. Rather than wait, we chose to show what we had in order to bring 
 the issue of the Afghanistan war to San Mateo Peace Action's front burner. 
 Peace Action West Political Director Rebecca Griffin's October talk 
 complemented the film's message with more details and suggestions for 
 channeling our activism. On November 22 we will "finish watching" the film 
 and have another open comment period - to hear from each other and further 
 explore what we can do both individually and collectively.\n\nPart 5 of the 
 film is called "Women of Afghanistan," and raises questions about whether 
 this war can, as advertised by many of its boosters, liberate or help 
 Afghani women. Part 6, simply called "Security," features ex-CIA agents 
 making the case that there is no victory to be won Afghanistan. We have 
 thus far avoided showing a segment called "Civilian Casualties" because of 
 its graphic images. All of the segments (and various fact sheets) can be 
 found by logging on to www.rethink Afghanistan.com.\n\nAnd on Sunday 
 November 22, Beck Hall at UUSM will be the place to go to find community 
 and share ideas coming out of the last three months of information we have 
 tried to facilitate about the Afghanistan war. Please also bring a dish to 
 share; beverages will be on hand for a donation, and coffee and tea will be 
 as always complimentary. The UUSM is wheelchair accessible.\n
