but Karen Hughes’ high profile tour
teaches Americans more than Muslims.
Thanks to heavy coverage by the press we

or dislike wearing the head-to-foot abaya,
and Turkish women hate our war in Iraq
and call the arrest of Cindy Sheehan a pity.
Muslim women say Hughes tries to understand
them, but her job is to get them to understand us.
