Is a Theocracy what Bush Wanted in Iraq?

Well, that looks like what he is going to get.

About two years ago, Bush presented her to the world as an example of who we were attacking Iraq for (after the lies about WMD, Ties to terrorism, and threat to the US were exposed) Look at how she is responding to the proposed Iraqi Constitution.

"I am not going to stay here," said Dr. Kuzai, an obstetrician and women's leader who met President Bush in the White House in November 2003.


Now that we are down to the last few hours of discussion of this proposed version of the founding document, it is clear that the real losers will be the women.


"This is the future of the new Iraqi government - it will be in the hands of the clerics," said Dr. Raja Kuzai, a secular Shiite member of the Assembly. "I wanted Iraqi women to be free, to be able to talk freely and to able to move around."



In the hands of the clerics, just like Iran. Of course, this may have been his true goal, since here in the US, he has been working real hard to put Pat Robertson and his friends into a similar position.
