False Equivalences

Charles Krauthammer justifiably criticizes Obama for continually equating wrongs done in the West with those in the Muslim world. Some of them are incredible. How could any sane person compare the treatment of women in the West with that of the Middle East. Women can't display their bodies at all, drive by themselves, and they if they charge someone with rape they run the risk of severe punishment. The US wasn't that bad a hundred years ago.
