...there’s really only one thing to say, and the Grand Forks Herald’s Tom Dennis has already said it:

The hostages’ “confessions”—like the handshakes and smiles that were exchanged at the incident’s close; like the footage of the female sailor wearing a headscarf—are crucial weapons in today’s 4th-generation warfare.  And they’re not weapons that are working in Great Britain’s favor.

Quite right.  And they’re weapons that work even better when our Speaker of the House is over in Iran’s puppet-state Syria volunteering to wear one of those head scarves.  And yes, I’ve heard the libs (and many conservatives) respond to that by saying that she’s just observing custom.  Which is an argument I bought into...at first.  But after thinking about it for a while, I still don’t think it was appropriate for her to put that headscarf on.

It’s not like wearing a beanie when visiting a Synagogue.  That beanie the Jews wear isn’t a symbol of oppression.  Like it or not, Islam is known for the way it oppresses women.  Particularly Islam as it is practiced in the middle east.  That head scarf Pelosi wore is a symbol for the way Muslims treat their women like second class citizens.

I mean, it’s custom to wear a white robe and a pointy hat to a Ku Klux Klan meeting, but that doesn’t mean it’s right.
