Monday, March 07, 2005 If Bush Thinks This is Liberation...then He Should Make his Wife & Daughters Wear the Hijab Indeed, and an excellent quote by a fearful Iraqi woman who is now forced to swaddle herself in black in order to avoid violence by Iraqi men who threaten women who dare to dress secular, which ironically, they were allowed to do and once had the freedom to do under Saddam. Beauty salons are also under attack as being "un-Islamic", and here, Iraqis say that they risked their lives for "absolutely nothing in January's elections ...b/c nothing has changed", well, that's not completely true... more civilian and troop deaths have happened.... and delusional Repubs got to flash their hokey purple fingers. The Italian journalist shot by US troops after being released from her Iraqi kidnappers says that the firing upon the car was "unjustified", and Iraqis say that a car being sprayed with gunfire is just business as usual in their everday lives. |
