Hell, set a building on fire and drive 'em in. What's to understand? (rolleyes)
1. None of these accounts are from meetings with Iraqi professional women, i.e. women from a country that has actually been liberated. They are all from countries where there is intense opposition to the liberation of Iraq because of the fear that it will have a destabilizing on their own societies.
2. Re: The Texan was soon on the defensive. BS
Damn!
Well, at least she's there, in person, to dialogue with them. Not that I think she should don their clothing and throw away her driver's license.
It's a dirty job but she's doing it.
And what would they say to a PRESIDENT Hillary Clinton?
The whole idea of Hughes' "job" is ridiculous. Scrap it now. If Arabs are too stupid to understand that freedom is good and tyranny is bad, then f**k 'em. We don't need anyone to be convinced that we are right.
Half as many bad drivers on the road than most other places.
Well,think about this: Now,Hillary Clinton, a woman of success,eloquence and freedom comes to visit and they say."You don't understand us?"
Interesting,no? A blond,important,fiftyish woman from the United States visits a foreign land. The audience is unresponsive,even angry and they give her a piece of their mind.
In one case we sneer at these pathetic,downtrodden know nothings and the other we would cheer their honesty, perceptiveness and courage.
We need to be very aware of the fact that a Karen Hughes or a Hilary Clinton are end products of the feminist movement,maybe these women see more than some here do. Just a thought.
What both women see are Arab women making a case for their own social order. They do have that in common. The facy is that in Hillary and Karen's case, the values which support their social order are based on natural rights and values which presume that human beings require freedom. The Aranb women's social order presume that women need a distinct control of freedom.
The fact is that Arab women enjoy the cloister and want to maintain it rather than face the very same changes that the modern world brought to European women after the American Revolution. The plenipotentiary instrument of
Islamofascism is the reaction to a world wide evolution towards what Pain considered to be civilized society.
Karen Hughes is a whipping post. I do not agree that we
do not understand Arab women. We understand them very well. They support the men who would bring the West to its destruction through the acquisition of national political power in an axis that stretches from Ankara to Jakarta, the use of nuclear missles , and the control of the Worlds oil supply.
Whats so difficult to understand about that? That is the understanding that Arab women want to confuse. I do not buy it.
