Women's Rights in the New Iraq
So what if the vast majority of Iraqis are Muslim? They can choose to live according to whatever religion they want. That does not give them the right to force the other 5% to conform to their religious beliefs, however. If they don't want women to wear halter tops, they don't need a law against it. They just need to practice their religion and not do that. Church + state = theocracy, not democracy.

Women's Rights in the New Iraq http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0723-06.htm The link explains how women's rights are not guaranteed in the New Iraq, as the current draft of the constitution forbids any law contradicting Islam. That's right, we gave them a chance for democracy and they blew it. What are we shedding all this blood for just to guarantee the rights of half the country? just over a year ago, Bush said (and I'm paraphrasing) that inside every person is the yearning to be free and that is the reason Rating: 5
