The "facts" in this letter have been thoroughly debunked at these sites:

Also, just a fun fact: Hussein's government had a General Federation of Iraqi Women, and enjoyed civil rights unheard of in most of the middle east. An except from the Hussein regime's official website:

"Raise the level of women in Iraq by all possible means and secure their enjoyment of rights that are equal to men’s rights in political, civil, economic, social and cultural fields, to provide equal labor opportunities and develop them to occupy high positions in the state. Defends their rights and interests, and to participate in repealing any laws, norms, systems, customs, or practices that are based on discrimination against women."

A "fun" fact? By "fun", do you mean an outright lie? Do you believe everything you read on Saddam Hussein's website? I wonder what Snopes.com would have to say about that.
