new dress code could see women forced into veils

in an Arabic Interview with her she said that she get her Husband approval for everything becauseshe beleive she is less than him. Added to that she said that she visited some christian neighborhood  because she heard that the suicide rate in that area was high as if Muslim women in Iraq are living in luxury. I wonder what she was smoking during that interview,  maybe what her husband was smoking since have been doing all the thinking for her.

New guidelines on how the Iraqi government’s female employees should dress have caused a furore. The conservative Ministry of Women’s affairs says it is protecting female dignity while women’s rights advocates say it’s an attack on personal freedoms.

The guidelines had already been decided on late last year but when a local newspaper published details of exactly how the Iraqi government’s female employees should be dressing, controversy was bound to ensue.

The recommendations made by the Higher National Committee for the Advancement of Iraqi Women*, which is chaired by the federal Minister for Women’s Affairs, Ibtihal al-Zaidi, had been decided upon in September 2011. However details were only revealed by the Baghdad daily, Al Mada, a few days ago.

Marines’ Haditha Interviews Found in Iraqi Junkyard

I dont even know what to say, but it seems to me that most solders are kids who assume war is more like a video game, they would shoot and then keep asking why those people are shooting at us. on the other hands Iraqis seems to expect American solders to fix everything for them. At the end of the day, many live lost for a decision made by 2 so called leaders who did not really respect these lives.

The Irony is that many of these stories are lost in a junkyard.

  • Each year, around 35,000 infants die before reaching their first birthday
  • Over 1.5 million children under the age of five are undernourished
  • Around 700,000 children are not enrolled in primary school, while hundreds of thousands more drop out before graduating
  • 2.5 million children do not have access to safe water, and 3.5 million lack adequate sanitation facilities
  • Around 800,000 children between the ages of 5 and 14 are working.
