Reuel Marc Gehrect of the Weekly Standard says what they're all really thinking.
ECHIDNE OF THE SNAKES:
The "social rights" of 53% of the population "are not critical to the evolution of a democracy."?! Does the phrase "taxation without representation" mean anything to this guy? How about "I AM NOT AN ANIMAL"? Actually, we're all animals, men more so than women it seems because they're TOO DAMNED DUMB to know that I am a person. I think, I breathe, I have my own ideas, my own opinions and I am not the property of a man or a government. A government of the people, by the people and for the people means WOMEN TOO!
Are we going to offer political asylum to women in Iraq since we've sent them back into slavery after decades of freedom? What a stunning, stunning failure, GEORGE! Way to fuck up what's left of a sovereign nation you blew all to hell for no good reason.
No wonder you're cutting aid to countries that won't agree to keep you unaccountable to the International Criminal Court. I see a war crimes tribunal in your future pal, and it can't happen soon enough.
"On Meet the Press, August 21, Reuel Marc Gehrect of the Weekly Standard said this: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."

Hatred is the effective tool of only a dictator. Preach away, Ms. Hitler.
I think you are misunderstanding Mr. Gerecht's real point. Allow me to translate:
I mean, women's social rights are not critical to the evolution of democracy."
Translation: I will never admit that the Iraq War is a failure in any way. herefore, anything we lack the power to achieve in Iraq cannot be that important.
I think it is erroneous to assume that women's rights are being sacrificed in Iraq because Bush doesn't care. They are being sacrificed because we lack the power to keep order in Iraq without the support of a lot of groups that are quite misogynistic. When we went into Iraq without enough troops, we guaranteed that we would have to cozy up to the misogynists and fundamentalists. so in reality, this is just part of the bigger failure to plan adequately for the war.
