You state "Did you notice, for example, that he never mentions the horrible treatment of women by radical Muslims such as the Taliban?"
In fairness the article does state ... many feminists were decrying the Taliban long before President Bush discovered what a burqa was.."
Yeah, I missed that one. I admit I almost fell asleep reading this drawn out thing, and did not see that part. I cheated and did a search for "women" and "female" and didn't turn either one up.
You obviously managed to stay awake and attentive through the whole thing. Good job.
