Violence is certainly down in Iraq, but it is most likely temporary. And the report that the "political solution" in Iraq is now not being pursued (the entire reason for the surge) highlights the still deteriorating situation. See below though a report of the consequences of this war for Iraqi women. It is not surprising that the Bush administration is not reporting on it; or that it is not on the American agenda at all. Judging by its lack of condemnation for the Saudi governments prosecution of a woman who has been gang raped the Bush administration can not go much lower. Iraqi women were the most western in the Arab world before the war.

sidenote: Less mentioned and important to note in the story of the current saudi arabian moral retribution is the man accompanying the woman in that car was also raped by that group of men. please, let's remember that men are just as abused under repressive regimes.Saudi style moral repression, an equal opportunity punisher.
