They don’t care, especially the Democrats who are scoring big political points on this issue by playing on the fears of a large majority of the public.

Pelosi was having a field day yesterday first accusing DPW of not having any female officers (which was wrong), then accusing them of anti-semiticsm (Arab/Israeli issues need to be addressed but are irrelevant to this issue) and accusing the UAE of ‘treating their women poorly’ a claim which seems to completely unsubstatiated based on everything I know about the UAE (I have an aunt and 2 cousins who lived in Abu Dhabi for a considerable amount of time).. Clearly she is basing this statement on stereotypes of Arab countries than actual knowledge.

The worst part of this is the people I used to look to for a voice of reason have been just as hysterical as the other side. We’re living in a country where fear has become the overwhelming motivation, and excuse, for any and all sorts of behvoir. I can’t see our demise being too far away if we continue down this path.
