In Basra Iraq, 42 women have been murdered since July for being improperly dressed. Women who aren't dressed in strict Islamic clothing are being terrorized and hunted by Shia militias, they have even gone as far as traveling to the homes of these women and killed them in front of their children. The government sent a new police chief to the area to defuse the militia but even they are afraid. It's been 6yrs since we "liberated" Iraq but until we realize force feeding democracy to foreign nations doesn't guarantee political success, progress for civil freedoms in those countries may never happen.
