Hugh Hewitt Inteviews John Agresto About Iraq
John Agresto has been over to Iraq twice: First time to help with Iraq's colleges and the second time to help with the Iraqi constitution.
But also when you look now, you'll see...there was, two years ago, you'd see women on the newscasts, and they were unveiled. Now, almost every picture you see of Iraq, where you see women out of Kurdistan, they were veiled. Or they were wearing an abayah of some sort. It's...the worst that's happening is that the real religious fanatics are taking over. They've taken over the universities in very many ways. They've taken over the schools. And that, I think, is the worst thing that's happening, that we're losing...we have a democracy there, but that it's a free democracy, a liberal democracy, a democracy that respects human rights? It's not moving that direction in all parts of Iraq. That's for sure.
It is a short interview and well worth reading.
