#1 The Kurds are trying to force Bremer to veto the decision. At least one group in Iraq is willing to stand up for womens rights, and it hasn't been the US. I find it disgraceful that Bremer hasn't vetoed the Sharia ruling yet.

#2 Charles, gotta let the fruit ripen before you pick it. Bremer will veto it if necessary, but (I suspect) he'd like the Iraqis to learn to reconsider bad decisions and fix them on their own. Part of developing a working democracy.

#3 I saw a picture on BBC's site. Unveiled smiling Kurdish women dancing alongside with men. They were in a line alternating men and women and each one was in contact with the two persons of the opposite sex at his side. Can you imagine a Saudi or Taliban reaction to the picture? Instant heart attack.

After seeing this picture I thought there is still hope for the Kurds.

#4 Those damned Kurish infidels. How are they dance with women whose faces are exposed.
