Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

the good ol' days under Saddam...no wonder the freedom fighters are killing so many women and children...

I doubt many think Saddam was a good guy, but I see us repeating the same mistake we made in Iran, I hope I am wrong. Even the women that appeared with Bush have now back peddled on their statements.

"....Since the fall of the Baath regime to the Americans, practitioners of political Islam in both the Shiite and Sunni communities have risen to power, with Iran looming large in the background. Should their fundamentalist tenets dominate the constitution, say women's rights activists in Iraq and the Middle East, individual rights for women may be nowhere in sight in the new Iraq....."
