The Ministry of Justice officially announced that the GC Resolution 137 can be considered annulled, and that all future family affairs cases would be dealt with according to the former Personal Circumstances ahwal al shakhsiya code which has been in effect since the fifties, and which the GC unilaterally abolished more than a month ago replacing it with Islamic Sharia law.

Probably the lot of pissed off Iraqis who don't want their country turned into Iran-lite. And their wives. Most definately their wives.

I bet they also wanted thier land NOT to be like Tran, simply because Iran is thier arch-enemy, and they would do anything to be NOT like tem.

Probably Paul Brenner quietly putting the right set of nuts in a vice (metaphotically speaking).

The current state of Iraq is realy sad when compared with Iraq before the first persian gulf war. In those days fundies were non existant in Iraq and laws like this were very unlikely.

Yeah, there was just minor stuff like rape rooms. Nothing compared to what they have now, anyway.

The modern Iraq has no Saddam but the standard of life is far worse than the eighties. If Iraq was invaded right after the first Gulf war the destruction and decay caused by a decade of sanction could have been avoided.

If Bush 1 had invaded, we would have lost the support of the Coalition.

Maybe, maybe not. If nothing else we probably could have seen a real popular revolt in favor of a progressive state. Instead he knuckled under...
