"leaders of people in the ME live in the long distant past and need to understand that we:

* prefer NOT to treat women as slaves

* believe in education for all, including women"

True Charlie true. If only US administrations would see it the same way as you.

Take Afghanistan as an example, Kabul's Soviet backed government gave women full and equal rights. This was too much for the US administration who felt women's rights were less important than their plans for hegemony in the M.E. so they installed and courted the Taliban. Now you know what the Taliban are all about don't you Charlie? Yep, cruel bastards. And torture!! well, too gruesome to mention here.
