What does "democracy" mean over there?
05/02/05
The U.S. invasion undeniably liberated the Iraqis from a tyrant. But for Iraqi women, especially in the Shia south, it has meant an end to freedoms they used to enjoy. For the scores of thousands of Christians who have fled in terror after the bombing of their churches and murder of their co-religionists, it has meant the loss of homes and exile. Most have fled to Syria, apparently a more secure and tolerant country for Christians than liberated Iraq. For Iraqi Arabs in northern cities coveted by the Kurds, like Kirkut, it means persecution and expulsion. Looking ahead, what will 'democracy' mean for the larger Middle East?
