re: Of course to the left, it's America's fault that fundamentalist Muslims are persecuting women and those who treat them. Of course it's not. You are becoming more like Steve every day. When are you going to stoop to "It's a good day for the left, US soldiers died in Iraq"? The point is that after the huge US sacrifices, and the huge Iraqi sacrifices at our hands, Iraq may be worse off than it was before our intervention. This war was never based on a moral principle, so it had no chance of success. I understand that and I'm surprised that you don't. Maybe you should meditate on it for a moment. John

Elroy, it's reasonable to assume that article is true, but what does that tell you about the so-called "religion of peace"? Of course to the left, it's America's fault that fundamentalist Muslims are persecuting women and those who treat them. And to the neoChristians its not a problem because WTF, they're all Muslims. Next "nuance".............. ted

Elroy, it's reasonable to assume that article is true, Only in the flimsiest court. It may be correct that a doctor was beaten up once in the past two years in Basra because he treated some female patient before he treated a wounded insurgent/killer, and the insugents cohorts hit the doctor for his decision. However, the article makes it sound like its a normal occurrence for a Basra doctor to be beaten up for treating women, period. And that's completely ridiculous, and that some posters actually seem to believe it just illustrates the waste of time discussing anything with them. It's typical one sided bullshit, where they search for articles that support their viewpoint, when the basis for their viewpoint is nil. I haven't heard one anti-intervention poster on this board tell me how he spoke to an Iraqi and was told by the Iraqi how terrible things are and how the Iraqi wishes the coalition should leave. They just post contrived junk out of newspaper articles written by journalists that appear to have their same agenda.
