Do you read these things before you post them??

The women of Basra have disappeared. Three years after the US-led invasion of Iraq, women's secular freedoms - once the envy of women across the Middle East - have been snatched away because militant Islam is rising across the country.

There were NO women across the ME that envied Iraqi women!


Damn......you flit around this thread....chirp, chirp, chirping away. Then suddenly, you see something I post......and you try to get real for a few minutes, focusing your meager intellect on what you consider to be offensive.

Tweetie, at one time, Iraqi women were envied. Before the 1991 sanctions......Iraq had a sizable, fairly educated middle class that was probably the most secular after Turkey. The Iraqi women did not have to put up with the crap that other Muslim women did.....like head gear and the veils etc......and they were better educated. That's why they were envied.

Check the immigration numbers, you are going to find mass exodus from Iraq, and zero immigration into Iraq during Saddam's reign. It seems your author Terri Judd is just making crap up....

Yup. They are leaving in droves now thanks to the war you all started.
