Hi Krista,

	I was wondering how you're research was coming.  I am a third year law
student at University of San Francisco.  I am doing a long paper on mass
rape in war.  In particular I am focusing on the status of the individual
claims that sex slaves of WWII are making in District Court in Tokyo.  I am
also addressing the legal redress that Muslim women can and are seeking to
obtain due to the atrocities they experienced.  First of all it is nice to
speak to someone who is also working on such a difficult issue.  I myself
become emotionally exhausted and find it difficult to believe that serbian
soldiers enjoyed all of this.  Could you please point me to some
information regarding your "brain wash" theory.  I find that to be an
interesting perspective, however, unfortunately I have not been exposed to
it.  Also, I do not believe that Catherine Mackinnon believes that
pornography is solely responsible for the rapes in Bosnia.  I think that
her point is that pornography played a central role in motivating the
soldiers to rape.  It's kinda like the chicken and the egg question.  In a
case like this, where it is difficult to determine, what came first, the
chicken or the egg, I myself have know problems assigning blame to violent
pornography if in the future it could protect women from rape.  Thanks for
listening :-) and good luck.
