I don't think valkyrieanne was saying women in Iraq were better off under Saddam. I think the point is that women in Iraq will not be well off under the Shi'ites if they come to power because the Shi'ites will likely institute sha'ria law, where women lose all or most rights and are forced to wear the veil.
