going to school and are now better off then they have ever been in 50 years under Saddam"....bush* is a total nitwit and LIAR!

Iraqi women always had the vote (even if only one name on the ballot), and women have always gone to school and university.There were women in Saddams upper government and women professors and business women.

bush* put an end to all of that. because now it is far to dangerous and the theoycrats are have won the election and women will soon be under the veil!

Amnesty: Iraqi Women No Better Off Post-Saddam
by Jeremy Lovell

LONDON -- Nearly two years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, women there are no better off than under the rule of ousted dictator Saddam Hussein, the human rights group Amnesty International said on Tuesday.

In a report entitled "Iraq -- Decades of Suffering," it said that while the systematic repression under Saddam had ended, it had been replaced by increased murders, and sexual abuse -- including by U.S. forces.

Washington promised that the overthrow of Saddam would free the Iraqi people from years of oppression and set them on the road to democracy. But Amnesty said post-war insecurity had left women at risk of violence and curtailed their freedoms.

"The lawlessness and increased killings, abductions and rapes that followed the overthrow of the government of Saddam Hussein have restricted women's freedom of movement and their ability to go to school or to work," Amnesty said.

"Women have been subjected to sexual threats by members of the U.S.-led forces and some women detained by U.S. forces have been sexually abused, possibly raped," it added.
