Personally, I think it's about time. (note the play on words. ) Iraq is the middle eastern country that does not play well with others. They have never been forthright with the rest of the world, and the Hussein regime has been and always will be a repressive dictatorship. I'm all for different cultures. But when women can be jailed or shot for allowing a strand of hair to come loose from under their shrouds? I believe we should have finished Hussein off the first time. I don't think we could have found a good replacement, (look at the Taliban) but I'm sure it would have been an improvement.
We are going to war to hold Iraq accountable for more than a decade of lies and subterfuge. We ARE a global community, now more than ever. And the rules need to be enforced.
well said. I would not want to condem other women to living that life. even if it is there custom.
