| Afghan Beauty Not Approved by Afghan Embassy |
| 2003-10-27 |
| I had stayed out of this story because I didn’t think the implication of the story—that Afghanistan had allowed a beauty contest. A burkha sewing contest, maybe, but girls in bikini certainly not. Contrary to claims made by Ms. Vida Samadzai, 25, Afghan beauty contestant at the Miss Earth competition in Manila, Philippines, the Afghan Embassy in Washington D.C. did not recommend her participation. Some of our women are babes? We can’t allow that to become public knowledge! Those filthy American soldiers might get ideas. During an interview with international media in Manila, Ms. Samadzai made false claims against the Afghan Embassy in Washington D.C. by proclaiming to officially represent Afghanistan in the contest. Afghanistan will be officially represented in the goat milking contest though. Ms. Samadzai’s participation in the beauty competition is a personal and private decision and does not reflect the position of the Afghan Government` said embassy spokesman. The position of the Afghan Government remains squarely centered in the seventh century. |

| #6 The ousted are ousted. She is considered a symptom of HIV/AIDS under pretence of so called democracy from the mother of democracy. Go ahead you men of 20 centuries give a chance to your sisters and mothers they might be the first rather than a so called afghan girl from a poor country. |

| #4 This is still the girl that got me interested in Afghanistan. There something about her eyes that was haunting when she was young. It's still there in teh older woman if you look carefully. |

| #2 I wrote: "I had stayed out of this story because I didn't think the implication of the story...." I should have written "believe" where I wrote "think" (careless editing on my part.) Dumb error, my bad. |

| #1 I seriously doubt a form in a burkha would get much consideration with the judges. On the other hand, Ms. Samazdai sure did something for me. |
