Iraq committee formed in the last few days
Has anyone noticed that although the population of Iraq is probably 50% female that there are only 3-4 women allowed to serve on that committee? Seems to support the idea that Iraqi women are a minority group as opposed to half the population.

2. Iraqi women are now being forced to wear the veil
This is one of the unintended consequences of our "liberation" of Iraq, it has resulted in the subjugation of women.

Women don't amount to much value in American foreign policy!
