Dean and Dowd - two pea-brains in a pod
Is Howard Dean taking cues from Maureen Dowd? Last week the NY Times' meandrous Mo ridiculed President Bush and the War in Iraq, complaining that women there now are in a "prison": young girls in Iraq are afraid to leave their homes because there are so many kidnappings and rapes, and women's groups in Iraq are terrified that the new constitution will cut women's rights to a Saudiesque level. Yesterday Nutty Howie told CBS' Face the Nation, "It looks like today, and this could change, as of today it looks like women will be worse off in Iraq than they were when Saddam Hussein was president of Iraq."
A while ago a WSJ column asked for a "constructive opposition" from Democrats, noting, "It's not as if there's no room to criticize the President's policy." Many conservatives agree, but since party loyalty can squelch anti-Bush dissent amonng Republicans, that criticism can be best voiced by Democrats. In the case of women's rights in post-Saddam Iraq, and generally as to what will become of Iraq's relative secularism, and conservative Islamists, there's a debate to be had here, and a concern to be addressed. Unfortunately people like Howard Dean and Mo Dowd -- who, incredibly, are perceived as liberalism's vanguard -- make any real debate impossible. And everyone loses.
