Iraq: reclassifications required

No, no, no. This won’t do at all…

Buried in the new Quarterly Report from the Pentagon is this statistic: 74% of Iraqis feel safe in their own neighborhoods, but only 37% feel safe outside their neighborhoods. Iraq has become a nation of ethnically cleansed neighborhoods, separated by 12 foot concrete barrier walls.

They’re not 12 foot concrete barrier walls, they’re Freedom Hedgerows. It’s not ethnic cleansing, it’s distributed community cohesion.

    This is why the pro-war rhetoric circa 2004/5 was so excrutiating. The ‘democracy’ we brought to Iraq was of the primitive “my gang is bigger than your gang” kind, which is always precarious.
