What we have accomplished in Iraq.

Here's an example.  For those who don't have time to follow the link, it's an article about a 17 year old Iraqi girl, murdered by her father and her brothers for talking--talking-- to a man who wasn't a member of her family.  This is a common practice in Iraq now; it's called "honor killing."

I will just note that, however I might despise Saddam Hussein, while he ruled Iraq, honor killing was prosecuted as murder.  After the regime change we brought about, the police now congratulate these murderers.

Oh, well done!

I'd have to disagree with you on that. It's just that it was not reported as much before. It would happen, and since sharia allows it, nothing would happen to the murderer.

Well, my understanding is that under Saddam Hussein it was prosecuted as murder, and now it's (obviously) not.

If such is the case then I stand corrected.
