Oh yes, Iraq, that monumental "gas" in the middle east. You know how Republicans ALWAYS give you this a line like this when talking about Iraq, "We are opening up schools all across the country," "Children are going to school with fear of Saddam for the first time." Even Bush called the Iraqi school being rebuilt a "hallmark of an American-led renewal, a symbol of hope for a new generation of Iraqis".
Well because things are getting even worse in Iraq, the media is back on it, and today 5 teachers were among 16 Iraqis and 3 US soldiers killed in Iraq.
These people think that Iraq was a bunch of uneducated idiots out in the sands who had not schools or universities. Before the war, Iraq was the "hallmark" of education in the Middle East. Men and women, boys and girls all went to school and were educated. Sure it wasn't completely fair, and yeah, they did have pictures of Saddam in their textbooks, but their schools were not being constantly blown up and their teachers slaughtered. One of my personal favorite professors I ever has was a graduate of Baghdad University. He was a physics professor and if Republicans beliefs were true, he would have been an immigrant who wanted to come to America to drive a taxi cab or work at a gas station.
