"so - what do you want us to do? pull out immediately - in which case the conservative religious will most likely implement even stricter curbs on womens freedom"

If we pulled out immediately, there would be no more restrictions on the rights of women than there are now. Women are not free to go out of their houses.

"or increase military strength until they come up with a constitution that we approve of? "

The only constitution that would be approved of by the Bush Administration would not look a lot like what we know to be Democracy. Military action in Iraq only makes the US more despotic and less democratic. Democracy has never worked at the barrel of a gun, particularly when it is brought about by a foreign invading country.
