And, I applaud Pres. Sarkozy. And as for Oblahma, we should all be so happy that he has mentioned our rights to wear the hijab. As the machetes hack those people up in Iran, I think about women their and their right NOT to wear the hijab. Thank you, Ani. And, I applaud Pres. Sarkozy.

Obuma should be reminded that in his timidly veiled sexist speech in Cairo he camouflaged Iranian brave women's human rights and preferred to focus on his animosity toward Sarkozy for wanting to enforce ban on headscarfs! Obama should hang his head in SHAME for his pathetically irrelevant to muslim women's rights speech! Shame on this misogynist who "won" only by pushing his worthier opponent off the stage! His CAIRO Speech was a TIMID SURRENDER OF MUSLIM WOMEN'S HUMAN RIGHTS. And they know it! Meantime his $106B War Budget supplemental passed the House to kill and mail more women and children in Afgan/Pakistan. The jerk is renting the Paki army at $l.2 Billion a month to fight their own people and drones are killing hundreds of civilians in northern boundary. Three million refugees!! OBAMA'S THE NEW AND MORE EXPENSIVE WAR PRESIDENT! Great post here Ani!

As you say, women are never given the credit they are due for the extraordinary contributions they make to society and the world. Imagine if women's contributions were recognized as often as men's are! BTW, I saw on Fox News last night one of the women pundits had suggested that obama could have asked powerful women here in America -- Hillary, Palin and some others (I can't remember who, but to make it bi-partisan) to give a speech supporting the women of Iran for their leadership in this protest. I thought it was a great idea. However, if only obama weren't such a narcissist and the men who surround him as well, he could have called on Hillary to lead in something like this, which would have sent a powerful message of support to these women and men that would have resonated around the world. But he's not that kind of leader, because if it's not about him, he's not interested. Ani,

Women most often fight their battles without guns. Only with the courage of their convictions they stand for their families and freedom. Their efforts are, too often, denigrated or ignored.

His policies are all geared towards his beliefs, his ideals and ideas. The iron fist in the velvet glove. All he wants is control. In his heart of hearts, he likely agrees with the clerics.

Ani,

The women and the men protesting for their Rights and Freedom are doing it via years of struggle and your answer to the commentator is spot on.

I am humbled by their bravery and for their quest for Freedom, in light of the silence we have witnessed for POTUS.
