Jeannette notes that American's are beginning to ask why we are supporting the creation of governments in Afghanistan and Iraq that don't permit freedom of speech or religion. "Sooner or later," she says, "that compromise will come back to bite us." She questions the very concept of an Islamic democracy. Jeanette weaves a story that combines the tension between freedom, love, and the belief system that disallows liberty in the way we have come to know it in the West. www.jeanettewindle.com
