BEST LINE OF THE DAY COMES IN A WASHINGTON TIMES PIECE EXPLORING THE MARRIAGE PREDICAMENT OF IRAQI WOMEN.
Despite the postwar tide of Islamic rigor sweeping southern and central Iraq, many women here are determined to be beautiful and sensual, even as the culture demands greater modesty.

Strappy sandals, for example, poke incongruously from the bottoms of fluttering hemlines — flashing what one U.S. colonel described as "local T&A — toes and ankles."

It is a good read and you'll find it here.
