According to newly elected British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Iraq is in a far better position. In Basra, an area once controlled by British forces, provincial control has now been moved in and British soldiers can all go home.
The job's done, lads. Forty women have been found in and around Basra, brutally murdered and mutilated. Thanks to that local provincial control, women are being killed for the crime of wearing make-up or not covering their hair in a manner deemed suitable by some local provincial leader. But the locals are ready to handle their own security so we're off.
Time to go home and let the provincial controllers take over. After all, what's the life of a few women who have the nerve to put on a dab of lipstick? It's none of our affair if a woman or two get their heads lopped off, is it? After all, it costs the British taxpayers a bundle to cover the costs of protecting the rights of some Muslim women and they're not worth it. Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and head back to England's green and pleasant land.
The locals are saying that their security apparatus is not quite ready to go it alone, but it's time for tough love. The Brits aren't going to be there any more, and it's sink or swim. And don't go out without your hijab, ladies.
