Taking the author at his word that this is a true account of his year in Iraq, one is struck by the disconnect with what we know and what we think we know. While he seems to have been against the war, this is not a rant. Indeed, it is a revelation of just how low we as a nation expect of our citizens in a foreign environment. This is all about the civilian, not the warriors, we sent there. Since when has it been proper behavior to avoid eye contact lest someone criticize. Money was everywhere. Who started the thinking that wasting money was a skill to be mastered? Why would anyone want to be part of futility? The debate should not be endless about whether we should have been there; the debate must center on what we are doing there or anywhere for that matter. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Distinctions
From a State Department insider, the first account of our blundering efforts to rebuild Iraq. A shocking and rollicking true-life tale of Americans abroad, and a vividly rendered tale of ineptitude and corruption. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
