Subheading on the story made it sound like this was really controversial so I read the article to try and found out why. It would seem like a reasonable program as long as there's no coercion. Reporter claims women were worried about "adverse responses" from their community and when I clicked on that link it took me to another ABC story from 2008 about gays being targeted in Iraq. I don't see the connection. Weird.

Maybe these widows will now think twice about supporting their sons’ wishes to become “martyrs” as so many moslem women do today.

30 million husbands ready and waiting in China, I think the story went yesterday or the day before. Sooner or later it’s goona be “we are here for your women” except I don’t think they will be asking so nicely.

Can't see why they can't snag a husband.

Well it looks like to me the solution is to have all those single Chinese men go to Iraq and well, you get the picture. /sarcasm

Indeed, more than 1 million Iraqi women have become widows in the past three years... the program has seen more than 40 widow remarriages in the past three years. 100,000 or 200,000 years at this rate and the problem will be solved! At last, a government program that actually works.
