OK, they could drive cars, wear "regular" clothes and build bio-weapons. Wheeee!!! Ain't that grand? Yeah, liberating them was a HUGE mistake.

Get real. Your whole argument rests on the premise that Iraq is incapable of establishing a government that is neither a Fascist dictatorship nor an Islamist one in the style of the Taliban and that the former is less bad for women than the latter. You have absolutely no evidence to support that premise. Nor have you answered the argument that when left with no basic human rights, the privilege of driving a car and not wearing a burka is no substitute.

She said Iraqi women were better off under Saddam than liberated from him and she is plainly wrong. And so are you.
