2. Excuse me?? That's not Iraq you are talking about..

.. but Saudi Arabia..
Iraq under Saddam Hussein may have been a dictatorship, but it was a secular one, with equal rights for women. Women were definitely allowed to show their faces in public. Many filled high positions in Saddams cabinet. As an example, the head of his biological warfare program (dr. Germ) was a woman with a PhD.
Individual men may have treated women like dogs, but when it comes to women's rights, Iraq had the best track record of the middle east..
