Egypt‘s National Council for Women
The process of shaping post-revolutionary Egypt to conform to the postmodern imperial world is proceeding apace.

Some pundits have expressed remorse over their performance, though as the Huffington Post’s Michael Calderone (3/18/13) noted, “Some prominent pro-war voices a decade ago still occupy high-profile perches on op-ed pages, cable news or Sunday show roundtables.” Indeed, having been wrong about Iraq almost seems like a prerequisite for being taken seriously as an establishment pundit.
