The campaign in Iraq cannot be considered a success until Baghdad
becomes the cultural capital of the Arab world, producing not
less than 200 Arabic films a year: comedies, family dramas,
stories of Arab boys who have triumphed over adversity to become
doctors, scientists and explorers in outer space.
No stories of Arab girls?
In my opinion, no Arab country or society can hope to even begin progressing until it at least starts to bring about substantive sexual equality. (Which, ironically, might have to be at least started using undemocratic means.) As long as they keep their women in the dark, their entire countries are going to be suffocating right there in the darkness too.
