Iraq

A really interesting article in the UK Independent today on the situation in Iraq 6 months after the invasion.

I question the results of the survey in the last paragraph though, and wonder if they included women in their questioning... I doubt it, I doubt they could even find women on the street to interview, since women now hardly dare to leave home without some male protection. I suspect this was a mainly male opinion. Women in the new Iraq increasingly have no voice and no presence in the public arena.
