US to put a woman in charge of Baghdad

YellowTimes.org | 07.03.2003 22:08

The U.S. has proposed putting a woman in charge of Baghdad.

"While Iraq is a secular state, with Iraqi women afforded full rights of participation in all levels of society, the installing of a government run by a non-Arab, non-Muslim woman will definitely wound Iraqi pride. To have their country sectioned off is one thing; to have their lives run by an American woman is another. Indeed, Iraq is fully modernized but tribal customs still run deep. A woman, representing the country that devastated Iraq with 12 years of sanctions and inflicted countless casualties, telling Iraqis how to run their lives will be an intolerable insult."

Following the mass bombing, destruction of infrastructure and deaths of thousands if not tens of thousands of Iraqis, Western civilisation's display of mere insensitivity might be almost a relief.
