‘Iraqis cannot forget what Americans have done here’
Cathy Breen writes (November 29th): I sat in on a
lecture, given in English, to maybe fifty or more young men and women at a
college in Ramadi.
An impassioned young woman from the middle of the lecture
hall spoke up. It was obviously not easy for her. “It is not,” she said, “about
lack of water and electricity [something I had mentioned]. You have destroyed
everything. You have destroyed our country. You have destroyed what is inside
of us! You have destroyed our ancient civilization. You have taken our smiles
from us. You have taken our dreams!”
Someone asked, “Why did you this? What did we do to you that
you would do this to us?”
“Iraqis cannot forget what Americans have done here,” said
another.
