Are Iraqi women college educated?
Yes they are educated. just because there is a war there doesnt mean they are not educated. For your information, education in Iraq is so hard that there are about 3 Saudi millionaires that I know about who are living in London who used to live in Iraq but couldn't graduate because education was so hard so they decided to go to London and what do you know they becamse millionaires. Maybe they're lucky but back in the 80s a PhD from any Iraqi university is as STRONG as a UK PhD (meaning that you could work in the UK without having to take tests again to re-approve your PhD). So please don't believe all what the western media says. I mean yes there are Extremists but that's only a minority. The majority of people are well educated and well mannered.
