I'm reminded of Peter Stengel's inability to take sides in the discussion of that Afghani woman they featured on the cover last year, the young beauty whose father had cut off her nose over a family marriage dispute: "... moral relativist like Editor Peter Stengel, who makes a fine point of assuring us he isn't taking sides": http://bit.ly/9SGK6z
