What "people" are saying, specifically, is that women will have less rights under the new constitution than they did under Hussein.

I've pointed out the fallacy of this sentence numerous times, why do you keep repeating it?

Under Saddam, non-Bathists (women, men, dogs) had zero rights. Individuals cannot have rights under a dictatorship.

And having law based on Sharia does not imply that women will have less rights - the Saudi interpretation of Sharia is not the norm.

JF, Your usual straw man crap. ... What "people" are saying, specifically, is that women will have less rights under the new constitution than they did under Hussein. That's not at all amusing.

LOL, what's amusing are the "nuances" you're willing to draw out just to make your own arguments the "right" ones and the other guy's arguments the "wrong" ones.

Any way you slice it, Saddam needed to go. The rebuilding process is far from ideal, but that only points out to the need for improving that process, not the relative "humanity" of the Saddam regime.
