Iraqi Population Brought Into 21st Century
The Professor links to an
article about the drive of Iraqis to learn English. It's a neat piece, but here's the most telling quote:
''We have not seen anything from the United States of what they promised,'' he said. ''I want to help them help me.''
This particular Iraqi wants the United States to provide him with fresh water, electricity, phone service, and who knows what else. He wants
the United States government to
help him personally.
Sounds like these people are well on their way to the American form of government already. For whom can he vote to receive the best goodies?
