The repurcussions of the US in the ME for women..

[Judge]

first of all, this could go in the chicks with guns thread ( ), but it struck me - we're now putting guns and the power of the law in formerly powerless women's hands... they will get a taste of freedom and they will demand more. They'll have the power to get it.

This is truely a great country... From the Brenda Fallacy - via Malkin (and you need to check out the "post from Marko")...:

This post from Marko has bothered me since 9:30 this morning. I keep going back and looking at that photo...a woman, a human being, reduced to nothing. She stands behind her husband like a shadow - shapeless, colorless, nameless, and faceless.

I don't know if it's culture or religion, but it is abhorrent. Perverse. Evil.

And where are the feminists? Where are the protests? Where is the UN's Division for the Advancement of Women? Where are the shouts of outrage from the universal sisterhood, demanding choice and freedom? It was making me heartsick.

And then this afternoon, thanks to Michelle Malkin, I realized thathope will soon come for these women. Women who for so long have lived like someone else's property and walked through life in a shroud, will get a glimpse at freedom. They will know the full, pure, beauty of it...


...and they will spread the word.

Iran's 'culture' is what it is. The reality of these matters is that in the most oppressive regimes, WAR is required for liberation. I've read Kloos off & on for some time and I can just about tell you that he'd be leading the chorus against such an action, particularly if it were Israel or the US who initiated it.

Everybody wants things to get better, but nobody wants to toast the a$$holes who are making certain that they don't. While we wring our hands and debate, an enemy who has vowed to destroy us grows stronger.

We can send Ahmadinejad a nice squadron of Stealths, or a link to Marko's blog. I wonder which one would be most likely to impress him?

Islam and men will make sure the issue of suffrage will be a long and painful one.

Is it me or does it look like she is going to slice her thumb to pieces after the first shot is fired in that pic?
