Give things 3-5 years and if the entire place is not a glass parking lot, the women are driving a revolution over there. It will not be easy but they have seen and felt what its like to be equal and will not be held back forever.

So if they are "catching up" on their own why the fuch are we in there? There be no WMD's, no link to 911. To free the people and promote democracy? I personally hate and resist unsolicted "help"and "advice", gotta figure a lot of them don't like it either.
Why not do with Saddam what we did with Castro? He can't live forever and the citizens will come along in their own time on their own terms as are, by your observation, other areas of the ME. Hell if they are improving by the week we should all be singing kum ba ya around a campfire before the 08 elections.
