It's all Bush's fault!

Good things cannot be happening in the ME.

Our MSM says so...

Kuwait’s parliament approved a law yesterday allowing women to vote

How long until the women are electing men like Clinton to run their country.

"Municipal Council elections” They can vote for dog catcher - nothing higher yet. It is a start I guess.

Reintroducing parliamentary democracy was the worst thing that could have happened to Kuwait in the wake of the first Persian Gulf war.

If it were left solely up to the Emir, women would already have the franchise. The Sabahs would have made sure of that.

Instead, we have the bizarre situation of allowing radical Islamists to thwart legislative measures intended to INCREASE the dispersal of democratic rights on an egalitarian basis.

-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)

I know that women voted for clinton in much greater numbers than did men. But men are equally responsible for our era's leftward slide and declining morality.

LOL! I'm surprised about that too. You'd think it would be big news.

We gotta keep the list running...

Afghanistan liberated from the Taliban.
Iraq liberated from Saddam and his sons.
Libyan dictator Ghaddafi unilaterally backs down on weapons research and terrorism support.
Iran's younger generations continue to push for democratic reforms. (It's only a matter of time and attrition!)
Lebanon protests their occupation by Syria.
Egypt moves towards two-party elections.
Saudi Arabia moves towards women's suffrage.
Kuwait moves towards women's suffrage and municipal candidacy.

Darn that unilateralist!

The Legacy of Bush: Failure, failure, failure.

All these changes? Clinton did it during his terms and it all succeeded, despite Hitler Bush's imcompetence.

At least, that is what the history books will show, if the liberals get their way.
