Reader comment on item: [Looting:] An Iraqi Tragedy
Submitted by Dr. Ron Burgo (United States), Apr 22, 2003 at 14:55
We don't understand the mindset of our own people; how could we possibly understand the mindset of Iraqis... or any other culture for that matter. If you examine what the Associated Press says from your article and place it with the effects of "multiculturism" being forced upon us and all the peoples of the world, you will then see a movement to do away with nationalsim, pride, responsibility, etc. which will make this one big, happy people under the auspices of that well respected governing body --the UN....Hope you appreciate my sarcastic sense of humor.
