I just added a bit to the bottom of my previous post right at the time you were writing yours, about the specific question of attacking the Taliban before 9/11.

Islamic fundamentalism or Christian fundamentalism -- they're making our world a very scary and unfriendly place. Either type alone would be bad enough, but we have the two together now making war and that's really bad news.

On Kay Hymowitz's article, I've read it before -- it's been the subject of a great many blog entries by feminists pointing out that it's complete bullshit. Feminist organizations and leaders have been pointing these things out and trying to get people -- us people -- to listen for years. I was just trying to find some links for these quickly, but I think those are on my other computer. But Hymowitz is out to lunch on that subject for sure -- what she says there is BS.

Here's one link (I've seen many more with more info) concerning yet another Hymowitz BS article.
