The Iraqi women who fear that democracy will crush freedom

I remember reading in National Geographic about twenty years ago that, whatever other shortcomings Iraq had, one area where Iraqis had done very well were in womens' rights. Iraqi women were construction workers, scientists, doctors.... their rights had progressed as far in Iraq as they had in any western country.

The new Iraq may come to resemble Iran more than itself soon...
