Personally I think the solution to the entire spectrum of Iraq's "ills" is to require mandatory military service for all Iraqi males of a certain age. In fact, Russia and other countries operate such systems.
The idea here is that it's the local police who "allow" the fanatics to beat up on the women. One can readily understand how a police officer who practices one religion might be intolerant of citizens of another religion (or whatever), this where such an officer might be in a position to harass (or simply look the other way) for an interminable number of years...
So..., get rid of the local police (and militas) and substitute them with military personnel, who are posted in any area for one year only...
Actually, I think the same system should be in place in the US of A, because: 1. America's Police Dep'ts. are notoriously corrupt, all the way to the very highest-levels, 2. Police Dep't. equates to drug apparatus (surely this is bound to happen whenever the cops come to "own" their beat), 3. having simply the one federal police entity would save so much money that we could have twice the number of cops for the same price.
What I'm envisioning is that the military should incorporate the National Police, the EPA, Immigration, ect. The military already has certain allures, so let's go ahead and make the military an even better deal (to get enough recruits). Then, after someone has completed their initial four year enlistment, it would be easy to "judge" them qualified to be a cop, which would pay a lot better than other "more basic" military jobs. Seeing as how Los Angeles Sheriff Deputies start at around 50K...
