Love it.
@dstr: Grow the heck up and get educated. Not only was the Ba'ath Party directly modeled after Hitler's Nazis, Saddam put political dissidents into concentration camps. Read up on the "correction movement." And what about gassing his people? I seem to recall Saddam inheriting a deep hatred of the Jews.
Oh yeah, but its allllll Bush's fault and he's insanely evil because liberals say so.
Shut up.

Huh? What example? There's no success there right now except the initial success of getting into the country. Those girls in school have to constantly feel under threat of a terrorist attack because we're there. And Burkas aren't exactly a forced thing on a lot of these women - in many cases, they're a statement of a woman's chastity. They're still used in "free" countries for that reason.

Women were allowed to go to school and they didn't have to wear Burkas under Saddam's rule.

The female literacy rate was quite good in Iraq, for the region, before the war. And it was a no-burka country.
You might be thinking of Afghanistan.

it's nice and all... but I wonder how long it will last...
as soon as our troops leave... be it 1 or 50 years... there's still a huge Muslim majority... and they like to do things a certain way...
maybe we should invade Saudi Arabia next... we can liberate the girls wearing Burkas there too... oh what's that... it's ok when they do it there? if you say so?

Considering that Iraq was a secular state before these were not issues under Saddam.

Andy G - I agree the answer you refer to goes too far. But that is one answer - not typical of the left. What is noticable is that everyone on the right who has answered is completely unaware that under Saddam women were not limited unreasonably in how they dress, were not denied education, and had a great deal more rights than women who live among our "friends" in Saudi Arabia for instance.
That ignorance is far more telling of the right.

It's wondeful. Except that's the way Iraq USED to be, when Saddam was in power.
Now women are dressing in chadors and the schools have no power or water.
Thanks, Bush!

Give the exact number,before and after Bush,please. No one was forced to wear burkas during Saddam's reign, so why say that?
Saddam was no angel, but he was far less evil than Bush.
EDIT: iraeblood, reported!, Bush has killed over 600,000 Iraqis, far more than Saddam!!!!
