Ethnic Identity in Iraq

[Zlatko Waterman]

All:


A richly detailed article by George Packer from the New Yorker. It pursues the theme of ethnic identity as part of Saddam's political legacy.

This is a long, carefully crafted eyewitness report. As such, it supplies a deeper dimension of understanding concerning the country, its culture and its people, something Americans ought to try to understand.

After all, we invaded it.
