Sometimes having training in history is a real bummer.

I learned a lot from it. The treatment of women in Middle Eastern culture is still appalling and the thought of FGM makes my skin crawl--talk about a barbaric practice. <br /><br />Keep up the good work!<br /><br />Nicole GibeautUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174799945700389037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433060810844381104.post-66332476297330769582011-02-15T19:28:45.527-06:002011-02-15T19:28:45.527-06:00tahrir square was an uplifting story, mostly. but ...tahrir square was an uplifting story, mostly. but today nbc news reported that a cbs reporter was "brutally sexually assaulted" in cairo on friday. she is a blonde. anyway, the brutality directed against a woman is what you expect to be made law. i think there's cause for hope, but dark elements are there.mary louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708577082968308132noreply@blogger.com
