Reply #64: I have been opposed to the Iraq war since day one, and the fact that women [View All]

[HardRocker05]

are treated like crap there or in other ME countries does not change my opinion that the Iraq war was always a lose-lose proposition. Don't know if the OP was trying to justify the war on the basis of this, but we should be able to look at the position of women in the ME and say yes, it is deplorable, but it will not be helped by a war initiated by us. If anyone is justifying anything, it sounds like you are trying to justify the treatment of women in Iraq on the grounds that it's a lot worse in other Muslim countries.
