The common use of the term Hajis to describe all Iraqis by Amerian troops is a source of growing resentment and prejudice.
These kinds of incidences described in this article are not isolated manisfestations; they are the result of bigotry and stereoptypes, which are often used to justify all kinds of misconduct.
Within in the hearts of all concernced, we all know that our nation does not belong in Iraq. WE are there to rape their country of its valuable oil and to exploit the war on terrorisim for the motives of greed and power.
To belittle the Iraqi people and to dehumanize them is the unfortunate consequence of this ill-conceived war. To punish one poor misguided fool for the crimes of our leadership may appease some, but does it bring justice to the people of Iraq and our exploited military?
