“My opinion is that she is trying to point out that the architects of the war thought that Iraqi’s would react rationally to the overthrow of Saddam, but they did not and the reason they did not is tied more to Islam than to any local political issues. Should that be the case, then nation building in Islamic countries, unlike places like Germany or Japan, is doomed to failure.”
Thank you Mr Obvious...I had no clue that’s what she is saying...
Der...
To put it more clearly...she’s a racist...she view’s the arab man as incapable of the gift of liberty...
Sorry..I dont see it that way.
That doesnt mean it’s going to be easy.
Your welcome for what you understood, but her concern is not with ‘Arab man’ as a race of some sort, but with Islamists, Muslims, followers of a 7th century religious creed that has never reconciled with the modern world and as such she hardly presents a racial issue and there is no reason to use the unthinking, catchall, epitaph ‘racist’.
