Has Pelosi Gone Bonkers?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was seen roaming the streets of Damascus flaunting a Hijab.The Hijab worn by women across the Muslim world has come to symbolize either one of three things:

1) a symbol that men control women by forcing piety, or

2) a return to religiosity because of oppressive rulers, or

3) a fashion statement.

Pelosi just reversed the work of the Syrian civil society and those who aspire for women's freedom in the Muslim countries many years back with her visual statement. Her lack of experience of the Middle East is showing.

The damage Speaker Pelosi is causing with her visit to Syria will be felt for many years to come.

She is dangerous in her stupidity and arrogance.

Last November, we gave a loose endorsement to the Democrats in the U.S. elections, hoping that a victory would encourage them to join the war against terrorism. We were wrong, of course. Since capturing the House and Senate, Democrats have hardly wavered from their relentless campaign of burden and demoralization that does so much to encourage the Jihad while buoying their own partisan objectives.

This month, the face of that victory, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, staged a high-profile trip to Syria with the naked goal of undermining the Bush Administration’s foreign policy, particularly the strategy of isolating state sponsors of Islamic terror. Though she responded to criticism by insisting after-the-fact that she only went to reinforce Bush’s message, her fellow traveler, Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison, had already gone on record to declare that the trip was an alternative Democratic strategy toward foreign policy.

As one of the wealthiest and most liberal members of Congress, she personifies the very evil that she rails against – the polarization of wealth. Pelosi is therefore quite comfortable with personal contradiction, and it is doubtful that the foreign lives sacrificed for her political ambitions will be of any more consequence to her than the millions of Southeast Asian lives sold out in 1975 were to her Democratic forbearers.
