It is apparently worn because some Muslim men are so lacking in self-control that a mere glimpse of female flesh would drive them into a sexual frenzy.

...suggest that you take out your steel and sharpen your critical knives to carve out a more valuable test for your editorial cartoonists. They should be incisive and funny. Threaten to slice and dice them all you want when they?...

But if the Shi'ite militias control much of the capital, reports suggest that Sunni insurgent groups are tightening their grip along road-transportation routes into and out of the capital. Such tactics have previously allowed the Sunni insurgents to choke fuel supplies into the capital. With that kind of virtual stalemate prevailing, Maliki won't likely be taking orders from Washington anytime soon...
