Before we got to the hot news story of the week, the Zimmerman Trial, we spent a lot of time on a question raised by Dory, would the money we spent on Afghanistan have been better spent on the education of women. I was surprised at the amount of interest on this topic, and the group had to be steered to other news. The topic one women education to bring stability in the third world actually gotten serious attention, but not by mainstream media. However, this topic has gotten much attention at the TED website. Here is just one of the talks.
