Convenient to think of Iraqis as songless, only made of war

The near-daily headlines of massacres and assassinations looked and smelled different, as they now do in Iraq. They nevertheless unjustly reduce our conceptions of those places to the one-dimensional assumption that they’re made of war and little else. Simplistic assumptions make for simplistic solutions: Invade. Occupy. Impose democracy. Force martial law. Surge. Lay siege. Blame the Iraqis for every failure because, after all, they’re made of war. What if we have it in reverse?
