Show and Tell
I don't think America is trying to force to change their culture. We are trying to tell some people in the Islamic world that women can go to school, lead in government, and sit in any coffee shop they choose. The cartoonist has made a poor attempt to frame the argument to fit his preconceived notion that "America is a big bully." The idea that this cartoonist is trying to defend the oppression of women in Islam by dumming-down the argument is simplistic and foolish. Would the same cartoon have been used in the 1960's to defend the "cultural differences" of segregation in southern states?
