J, Iraq is kind of a "two step forward, one step back" operation.

The women will eventually get their guns back but it will be after some face saving by the government. Probably, one of the women arrested a Shia senior tribesman or something.

Actually, women''s rights is one of the improvements in all the Middle East (and South Asia) since America became proactive.

Might be one of the reasons the men are mad......

I''m sorry, but what are we doing spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a system that will NOT let females have rights, which restricts religions, and which generally is out of control with all human rights.
Lets trade all our money spent there for an equal amount of oil, and then turn the country over to the residents.
