The fight for Muslim human rights.

Jeff Jacoby makes the humanitarian case for liberal democracy in Iraq. You'd think this alone would make feminists support the war, but you'd be wrong.

Essentially, the argument is compelling that Sharia law is unjust and needs to be modernized or struck down. Its existence is one of the best arguments that Muslims cannot operate a democracy. The current case of a Christian convert in Afghanistan who has been sentenced to death under Sharia law, will bring this to a head. Islam has evolved to require a closed society. Muslim countries will have to decide whether they want to be a part of the modern world or just trade with it. Long term trade and importation of western goods and technology will eventually break down the walls, but that means lots of misery, death and struggle are ahead for them.
