Why would any president of the United States of America appoint a female as secretary of state, knowing she would spend so much of her time in the Middle East where Muslims rule?

Muslim men have no respect for women; they look down on women as an inferior sex — someone to cook, clean and raise children. So why appoint a female knowing she will not be respected, but only tolerated?

The perfect secretary of state should be a tall and muscular male. Muslims respect power, and the appearance of a very big and smart male secretary of state would get the attention of a Muslim leader much quicker than a female.

With few exceptions, Muslim men rule in the Third World countries. Remember, I am talking about the Middle East and not the rest of the world, where women are respected.

If Ray Lewis, the linebacker, were qualified for the job, he would make a perfect pick.
