In a truly counter-culture move, women are signing up for and training to become members of the Iraqi Police.
I can hardly imagine what this is doing to the status quo in Iraq. I'm old enough to remember the controversy here in the late 1960's and early 1970's when women first started going to the academy and then started showing up on the street. These American women went through hell in some police forces, and this is considered a culturally enlightened nation.
This is going to be a long hard road for these brave women. Even the "friendlies" will be rooting for their failure. I, for one, will be rooting for their success.
Book'em, Batool!
