81 Women are non-consequential in Muslim countries and not just by the poor and ignorant. Sending women as diplomats to these countries is a futile effort to educate or modify their culture and in many cases is considered an insult. Remember how Saddam Hussein treated the diplomacy of our female ambassador over the Kuwait issue before he invaded? Having Hillary Clinton make a half-hearted speech of conciliation on the current riots is probably received with contempt for a weak America.

April Catherine Glaspie (born April 26, 1942) is a former American diplomat and senior member of the Foreign Service, best known for her role in the events leading up to the Persian Gulf War of 1991. ... Professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt write in the January/February 2003 edition of Foreign Policy that Saddam approached the U.S. to find out how it would react to an invasion into Kuwait. Along with Glaspie's comment that "'[W]e have no opinion on the Arab–Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait.' The U.S. State Department had earlier told Saddam that Washington had 'no special defense or security commitments to Kuwait.' The United States may not have intended to give Iraq a green light, but that is effectively what it did."
,watch this video of Mccain Grahmnesty, Lieberman and Collins in Tripoli schmoozing with Qaddafi - 20 months before they all became righteous about killing him. Qaddafi shakes hands with McCain, a Jew and a homosexual - but ignores Suzie Collins, who later drops him a cute little curtsey (:29 in the video)
