For a bunch obsessed with not humiliating Muslims, the Bash Bush crowd sure went out of it's way, by teaming up with America First Republicans, to give the Abu Ghraib treatment to one of the more civilized places in the Middle East .
The website, MEMRI, has excerpts from a great Al Jazeera interview, with Dr. Wafa Sultan, an Arab-American psychiatrist. Dr. Sultan doesn't believe we are in a war of nations or religions. She believes, "we are in a clash between civilization and backwardness…between barbarity and rationality."
Tom Friedman of the NY Times calls Dubai a "A bridge of decency that leads away from the failing civilization described by Dr. Sulitan" He quoted an Arab businessman who said, "you could not have a better friend and more of a symbol of globalization and openness." Friedman wrote, "Unfortunately we just told Dubai to go to hell."
Bok, I've been enjoying your toons since you did the one on CNN pixilizing Mo's face. Comparison with L. Ron Hubbard is inspired and made me laugh out loud. BTW, Dr. Wafa Sultan who critiques Islamism is a woman. Watch the video at MEMRI to get the full force of her passion;she is quite remarkable and inspirational and renews my faith that democracy in and modernization of the ME is not a pipe dream. Thanks for your work!
