Iraqi Women. Let the Iraqi govt. finally have some respect for them.

A Soldier's Mom said it perfectly about the Iraqi constitution and the role of women:

"Wishing the draft Iraqi constitution had been done on time because every delay heightens the danger our troops and the Iraqis face from the terrorists… but was also glad to hear that the extension was a unanimous vote. I hope the drafters do not abandon the Iraqi women who are the strength and honor and spirit of Iraq… these women who must raise and protect their families under the direst of circumstances and are the hope with their children of the new Iraq and the Middle East – women who went to the polls in parity with Iraqi men. It would be distressing to me and many others I’m sure, if their legal standing was LESS under the new government than Saddam.However, despite the assertions of the MSM and the liberals – this is IRAQIS driving this – not Americans. While our ambassador and consultants can exert some pressure, it is up to the Iraqis themselves to assure that they HONOR their women and their role in Iraqi society and history. You cannot hope to join the 21st century of your women are forced to return to the 5th century."

Check out her blog too. She has a son in a dangerous area in Iraq and her attitude is awesome! Read her amazing experience at a Toby Keith concert. Too cool.

UPDATE: Good news! The news this morning is reporting that Iraqi women will have equal rights under the law. That issue has been settled.
