Those Bad Ol' Iraqis?

I never said that we hate them, just that in order to justify an attack we need to make them the enemy and make it seem like we are going out of our way to help them because they are too primitive and barbaric to do it by themselves.

This racist way of thinking is why we are losing. We think we are better them so we underestimated them and their culture.

Maybe contempt is the right word?

Or ambivalence....... of the individual Iraqi.

Come to think of it, they're the ones that messed up the grand scheme of things. The war would have been over long ago if it weren't for them.
