Just cause a couple of post mentioned "stupid Iraqis". It's difficult to tell the degree of sarcasm/irony employed by the author over a one sentence monologue. So generally speaking what is the view on Iraqis?
Is the general concensus: "fuck the stupid Iraqis" or "Dear god look what an overzealous neo-conservative government with things to hide and empire building ambitions has done to that country".
Or somewhere twixt the two? Don't tell me nothing is black and white any more... |

| That sentence is intended to be ironic. I would certainly hope that no one would have a grudge against the typical Iraqi citizen. They were never consulted about whether they wanted to have a loony dictator. Everyone in both parties here would say that the positions they support are the positions that will best help the Iraqi people. We'll see in time who really meant it... |
