“But whatever the outcome on specific disputes, the document on which Iraq’s future is to be built will require laws to be compliant with Islam. Kurds and Shiites are expecting de facto long-term political privileges. And women’s rights will not be as firmly entrenched as Washington has tried to insist, U.S. officials and Iraq analysts say.”

So in response to Islamic extremist who murdered 3,000 Americans we invaded the only major gulf state that was secular so we could install an Islamic government.
In response to the slaughter of 3,000 Americans of all creeds and colors we kill two thousand Americans to install a regime where justice is handed out based on race, creed, and gender.
This is our noble cause? To make women in Iraq wear a burqa? To remove reproductive rights? To implement legal honor killings? To legalize rape?
I must be wrong. Pls tell me how I am wrong. Because this cannot be right.
Someone please find a way I was wrong because this is too painful to believe.
I am afraid you are right on with this one, Babe!!!!…:o( does not make sense does it???
Coming soon to a former democracy nearer than you wish, minus the burqa and adding the cross…
Why should our government mind trampling on women/glbt people’s rights? It’s what they do, it’s who they are.
The arrogance of the neo-cons, believing that everyone in the world would become American if they could (except, of course, for those “nuts” who “hate freedom”)… leading them to “install a democracy” (how’s that for an oxymoron) in a country that is in no position to accept one…
It does boggle the mind.
