In re "Muslim Women Seeking US Help," it will be interesting to see the reaction of the American Left to this call.

Since Shari'a law is definitely geared towards keeping women "barefoot and pregnant" (to which I would also add "veiled"), this is a legitimate request. However, for the more vocal feminists, civil-rights warriors, and other stereotypes of the Left, to actually give aid and comfort to Iraqi women would be to admit that the President's policy on Iraq has been successful and may actually improve the life of the average Iraqi.

Thus, we see the Left caught once again on the horns of a dilemma of its own making. To respond whole-heartedly to the request (which is, morally, the right thing to do---no tongue-in-cheek intended) is to admit the Iraq invasion has accomplished much good---something which would make Teddy Kennedy choke on his martini olive. On the other hand, failure to respond to the request would raise charges of hypocrisy since it would mean ignoring the plight of a decidedly underpriviliged group that has made an eloquent appeal for help.

Either way, the Conservative movement in the US achieves a political and moral victory. Life is sweet and very rich in irony.
