These kids are being taught some terrible lessons. I can't imagine what it must be like to be a child over there.
This jumped out at me towards the end: "Most of all, she says, they just want to "live like before."" So just who are we helping here? It doesn't surprise me that many Iraqis would prefer Saddam Hussein's government to what we have given them. Bush has made criminals of us all.
Well, in fairness if they are five years old they probably have no idea what it was like to live in Iraq "before".
Think the Palestinian Territories.
This is just the beginning.
What do you expect? Kindergarten was invented by the Nazis!
To be fair, nobody said they would kill Americans. They just want to end the occupation-- don't we all. They just want to live "like before."
One question not answered is whether this is a Sunni or Shi'ite neighborhood. My understanding is that most Sunnis, especially Ba'athists, would indeed like it the way it was because they were top dog.
The situation is FUBAR. It's too nuanced for for our crude foreign policy tools and military to fix.

I think that the information is very interesting and the teacher explain a lot of things so nice.
