Bringing Christian Values to the Children of Iraq
Of the many arguments for our timely exit from Iraq, one that is rarely (or insufficiently) mentioned is the degree of moral degradation that occurs to an occupying force over time. Members of the Israeli army are well aware of this. We Americans seem slower to master this learning curve. We still see Abu Ghraib and other atrocities through the lens of the “bad apples” metaphor.
Here is a clip of some American soldiers amusing themselves by leading Iraqi children in a chant saying “Fuck Iraq”.
Just another sign of how much we have lost our way.
