[kj] back to oil!!!

[Mister Black]

Well B.
  There has been no instances of Iraqi women being encouraged to dress in a Western style by the Allies , so Jaz was wrong on that count , infact the opposite has happened , Western Women have been encouraged to dress in an Islamic style . Many Western Muslim Women dress more Islamic than their Muslim sisters in the middle east .
  The Muslims are encouraging Western women to dress in an Eastern way , so Jaz got it completely wrong.

In other words, as much as it pains me to say this, as egomaniacal as 
Jaz Coleman can be, he was right in the lyrics to "Total Invasion." :)

You know that line in "Total Invasion" that goes: "We'll clothe your 
women the Western way"?

Juan Cole, Professor of History, University of Michigan & President of 
the Global Americana Institute, had this statement on just that subject: 
“[I]f we are going to do things like send Marines into Iran to force 
Iranian women to wear bikinis at the beach, we are going to have a very 
busy century and Arlington Cemetery is going to run out of room.”

I don't think Cole had heard "Total Invasion" when he said that. :)
