The War in Iraq is Liberating Oppressed Women

If there are any serious posts to this thread, I am sorry I will be offline for the rest of the evening. I don´t care whether you agree with me or not...it is true nonetheless.

You are a MORON.
Clueless about the rights WOMEN DID have under Saddam.
Without him or a secular Dictator like him, They will be put into burkas and treated like dogs by the Grand Ayatollah under a Taliban like state.

Nice try, Belle, but Iraq was the most westernized of the M.E. countries and women had the most freedoms there. Using your logic Iran should have come before Iraq.

Funny how people will latch onto any fabrication that will help to ease their conscience, isn´t it?

yes im sure things will be much better under the new fascist iraq puppet then under the old fascist iraq puppet

I don´t know weather to Laugh, Cry, or Pound my head on the wall.

So if the US is over there liberating oppressed women, why are they shooting at our forces.

Now just follow me here for a minute... maybe... just maybe, they like their culture and don´t see themselves as oppressed. Maybe they like things as they are. Now we as good God Fearing Americans know that they must be wrong... but don´t they have the right to run *their* country the way they want to??

I know its a radical thought...

What 8:43 said.

Do you also believe that the women in Afghanistan have been liberated? What a joke! They are more repressed now than they were under Talaban rule.

The provisional government is including women in positions of power for the first time.
The only woman Sadaam included was a doctor who specialized in how to kill people.
Noone wants to think any good will come from the war. I don´t care what anyone says, women will be awakened to a new world...yes, it will be tough with many pitfalls, but change is always tough. Stagnation can bring nothing but deevolution.
I was not for this war, but now that many lives are being lost...I choose to think about what positive effect has occurred from these deaths.
Women are being liberated into a new world.

actually from the reports I read from these women you are talking about is that they are afraid to go outside... they are more trapped then when Sadam was there.... :moose:

I cannot believe that any woman would choose to be kept "under raps"...always wearing those hot clothes and veils...not being recognized as a viable candidate for education.
If there is any woman on here, who would choose to live in that way, I want to hear from them.
Of course, they are shooting at us...YOU MORON! WE ARE AT WAR...it is true. It has happened, and I choose to look at both sides of the war issue...YOU ONE-SIDED MORON!

Yes, Makani, I am sure it will be that way for awhile...hopefully, after the war their lives will improve...I do believe this.

Yes; the flip side is women now get to go into combat and die like men. Now that´s liberation.

Pattie, does being able to receive and education and vote mean anything to you? It does to me...I cannot imagine being without it.
Those women under Sadaam have been...what do you think about that????

you areobviously suffering from a mental strain of some kind and relax

Anyone who can say that women in Iraq were not oppressed is a MORON. We are all oppressed on this planet to some extent, but here in America women for the most part are FREE. I AM SURE WOMEN IN IRAQ WOULD RATHER LIVE AS WOMEN IN AMERICA.
I hate the war in Iraq, but I do believe in the long run some good for women will come from it.

Why don´t you do some research before expousing your "views?" Women got a free education in Iraq. There were more books per capita than in any other me household in Iraq.

This is not about freeing anyone, except for freeing mothers from their children, wives from their husbands and children from their parents... permanently.

America has become a vicious rogue nation.

The US has a lower %/capita of well-educated women than Iraq. The US standards of education are the lowest in the industrialized world, and well below that of many so called ´3rd world´ countries. Did you really think outsourcing was just about the bucks?
The US is a country that exploits women, and not just women, US exploits every aspect of life, on the planet, that will turn a buck.

To bad Baghdad was the most westernized city of the mid-est till your troops bombed it in 1991 and then proceeded qith 10 year of sanctions and then bombed hit again last year.

To bad the womans in baghdad where not obliged to wear the burka and had work as teachers in the university and hight scholl just for an example, now these woman are or dead under your bombs or just sick from years of wars.

You have liberated the woman of Iraq yes they are liberated couse they are dead now.

Keep illuding yourself about the good of your intent that actually dont exist and keep hiding the truth cause seems that your conscience cannot affort it, and thing will get alway worst. And keep watching what your media corrupted and bough want you to see, you are just drones.

Belle, those women kept "under raps" enjoy more protection and respect than any western woman could hope for.

Don´t forget the gift of depleted uranium. The gift that just keeps giving...

Maybe they´ll return the favor one day and liberate us.

Ignorance is funny --except when it´s not. All people were suppressed under Hussein. How else could he manage 100% of the vote in his last "election"? Women, though, in his regime were the most free in the entire Arab/Persian world. Compared to Saudi Arabia, Iraq was a paradise for women. I´m afraid they won´t fare so well under the Mullahs.

Come to think of it, how did Bush only manage 51%? Guess the Republicans were a little more careful in the vote "count."

"If there is any woman on here, who would choose to live in that way, I want to hear from them."


Well see... that´s really the point isn´t it. What the women on this board want isn´t really relevant. Its what the women of Iraq want that is really the issue.

US women have, or the image portrayed of them has, managed to destroy the international image of western women across the world. Obese wal-martians or bimbos spreading her legs for a buck. I know it´s the exception not the rule, but this is how Hollywood sells you.

Not to mention the fact that culturally, the US is demeaning of it´s portrayal of women in almost every aspect of society, except for their "shopping" value. That´s why the only place you´ll see women acting and being normal is in commercials.

Why yes, those poor Iraqui women are being liberated. Liberated from their husbands, children, parents, friends and homes. Not to mention electricity and fresh water. And thanks to the resurgance of fundamentalist Islam due to the invasion, they stand to lose all the rights they had prior to the American occupation. While I don´t condone by any means the killing of U.S. troops (or of innocent civilians, for that matter), I think you´d be grabbing guns too were you in their place.

I´m free!

Thank you millionaire American hack author!

Yeah, they are liberated of their husbands and children, their arms and legs, and their dignity. You are a fucking moron!!!

Belle Starr...
For some reason when I read that name it had a flash memory associated with it. I´m not sure what it was. Whatever it was, I had the feeling it was big & important!
Belle Starr...
What was it that flashed before my thoughts. Something I was suppose to remember?
Something in another life time?
Or was it something in this life?
I don´t know but I am going to have to think on it.
Whatever it was spoke directly to me to TAKE NOTICE or REMEMBER.
Strange.
