well, let the sarcasm flow all you want, but I'm not sure the women of Iraq will appreciate the irony when they discover that they had more rights before than they do under the new constitution. Am I saying that that is the most important thing under the sun? No. But ignoring it or sweeping it under the rug makes you lose credibility.

The right to what? Vote for Saddam? Seriously, are you insane or what?

You think the new Constitution is going to favor the Islamic radicals? You don't follow the news much, do you?

Al-Qaeda says will kill Iraq constitution drafters

DUBAI (AFX) - Al-Qaeda's Iraqi branch said it would kill anyone taking part in drafting the country's new constitution or in the ensuing referendum to approve the document, according to Agence France-Presse, citing an Internet statement.

'The tribunal has decided to apply the order of Allah: kill whoever assumes the right to be a partner of God and draws up a null and void constitution ... the tribunal has also decided to ... strike at referendum voting stations,' it said.

What rights did Kurdish women have? Marsh Arab women? Even Shiite women?

You simply don't know what you are talking about. You are parroting ultra leftwing talking points. Perhaps you should sign on with Saddam's legal team.
