#1 Yep, Bulldog, she is a moron. If this is the future the women of Iraq want, they will get it. By making this choice, they must understand that all future cries for help against honor killings, domestic violence, religious persecution of women and the ensuing demands for Western investment to clean up the aftermath of those issues will be disregarded as a result. Unfortunately, it looks like the women of Iraq need to learn the lesson of cause and effect. It will probably take decades, centuries, for them to figure out what they have done to themselves.

#2 Let's face it - Iraqis really do have different values - from both Europeans and Americans. I really don't see a problem if the majority of the people actually favor this course of action. Muslims have had these practices for over a thousand years (and throughout all 200+ years of Uncle Sam's existence, without staging mass casualty attacks against civilians like 9/11, prior to the 1990's). As long as they stay away from doing things like 9/11, I really don't care what they do to their own people. It's their country, after all.
