This is a silly comment.
For all of us who care that Iraq becomes a stable, functioning democracy--as Bush wants--it is impossible without good teachers. Without teachers of electrical engineering and students who learn, who will maintain and repair the electrical grid? Without teachers of petroleum engineering and students, who will maintain the oil fields, pipelines, and refineries? Without law professors and their students, who will re-establish the justice system in Iraq--leave it to the imams and mullahs? The same goes for computer, internet, and telecommunications expertise, for factory management, for architecture and building, medicine and health, etc.
This report--if true--is a serious matter.
There not all leaving Thomas. It is more Junk Journalism Chicken Little hysteria.
