("New Form of Evil is Why America Has not Won Iraq War,")
by Dennis Prager, March 27, 2007
Questions and Answers are cited below as "Q" and "A"
Q: Can you describe the Iraqi nation in a sentence?
A: Prolific author, Dennis Prager, relates the answer to his question as given by a young Iraqi citizen while riding a bus from Beirut to Damascus in 1974. His answer, - "No problem." We Iraqis are the most barbaric people in the world," responded the young, English-speaking Iraqi."
1. Q: Could one ever forget that man's words and therefore anticipate great cruelties in Iraq?
A: No. Neither could the author of the question anticipate such cruelties.
2. Q: Can this barbarism be summarized?
A: Yes.
3. Q: How?
A: "Anyone who predicted a civil war could not have so much as a premonition of the unprecedented mass murder of the men, women and children among the Iraqis 'own people' as a military tactic to defeat an external enemy.'"
There is annexed Dennis Prager's March 27, 2007 summary of why the Iraqis are the most barbaric people in the world. (See, "New Form of Evil is Why America Has Not Won Iraq War.")
4. Q: How does Dennis Prager summarize the situation in Iraq?
A: We have not yet prevailed in Iraq. "Even without all the mistakes made by the Bush administration - and what political or military leadership has not made many errors in prosecuting a war? -it could not have foreseen this new form of evil we are witnessing in Iraq." (e.g., "People who would leave children in a car and then blow them up" as a new means for winning a war.
