It's funny to point out that pre-Iraq invasion women in Iraq had the most rights of any muslim nation. They were allowed to have jobs, even those above men, they could attend school, AND they could DRIVE cars. Now that we kicked out the secular muslim regime they fear for their rights because of the rise of the religious fundamentalists.
