No sooner do I put up a faintly hopeful post about things today than Atrios pointed me to something else that turned my mood right back around.
I think it's important to remember that in the year 1900, for example, in the United States, it was a democracy then. In 1900, women did not have the right to vote. If Iraqis could develop a democracy that resembled America in the 1900s, I think we'd all be thrilled. I mean, women's social rights are not critical to the evolution of democracy.
WTF?!?!
[rant mode = on]
I hope Reuel Marc Gerecht never, ever gets laid again for his insane supposition that it's OK to disenfranchise Iraqi women at the cost of some 1,800 American lives and god knows how many more wounded. What kind of a delusional sexist jerkoff thinks that's a good thing? What an egregious overprivileged f*cktard!
AARRGGHH! It makes me want to knock heads together.
[end rant]
For more substance and less ranting, go read what Digby has to say about this. I'm too annoyed.

On a lighter note . . .
Should women have the right to play tackle football against men? :o
It's gonna happen Tuesday night at the L.A. Coliseum!
