	#i wrote this piece after watching this week's  ABC nightline 
and 20/20 which focussed on the shocking revealations of the culture 
of sexual harassment in the military here. it is sad that even in a 
land where women have broken all barriers, their basic rights are 
violated so flagrantly.
	this piece is not about the brave soldiers of one country or other
who sacrifice their lives for the protection of the freedom of their
countrymen. it is about the culture of abuse by the powerful and the wealthy
of those who r less fortunate or less powerful. it is about the culture of
bullying by powerful groups, companies and nations of less powerful
ones. if this piece says anything otherwise, it should only be taken
as my failure to put thoughts in words.
