At the Brookings Institution in Washington on Feb. 25, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton charged that, with Saddam Hussein gone, there have been "pullbacks" in the rights Iraqi women enjoyed under his rule. Not even such bellicose critics of the war as Sen. Ted Kennedy have claimed that the regime change has cost women in Iraq the leading defender of their rights.

"As long as they stayed out of his way"??? It did not take very much to get in the "way" of Saddam...

According to the Soviet Constitution, any citizen had the right to critisize the government. Good luck doing that under Stalin.

I remember telling my girlfriend about Hitlery's little speech about women's rights under Saddam. She damn near exploded over that one.

Also, I remember when we were out Freeping an pro-Saddam demonstration last March. My girlfriend was getting right up in the faces of those ignorant hippies and demanding justification for the rape rooms and public beheadings.

An hour later the bombing of Baghdad began.

Suggestion: use brackets to explain what the article is really about, in this case Hillary's incredible statements.

I would have added [Hillary Lies for Saddam!] or something similar to the original header.

You would have attracted lots more comments.

Perhaps the nice mod will add something to the headline so this gets the attention it deserves.
