Another insightful article from David Brooks on the values of Iraqis. The raw material, the people, from which to build a nation has characteristics that make the task nearly impossible, although Brooks does not reach this conclusion.
"The people of Iraq have endured decades of dictatorship, war, insurgency and civil strife, and the psychological costs have been ruinous. Iraq is the most xenophobic, sexist and reactionary society on earth."
