Indeed Iraq was highly advanced....even Saddam was progressive re: women and education compared to his peers in the ME.


True, but can we use the word secular instead of progressive. Saddam gives progressiveness a bad name. ;-)

Even the Iranians are more secular when it comes to women.........Iran has more women MDs and lawyers than any other country in the ME including Turkey, I believe.
