From No Loss For Words, a first hand account of the recent satellite discussion between American and Iraqi students. The quoted paragraph links to the complete entry.
Davidson College hosted a discussion via satellite between American and Iraqi students today. Chris was slick enough to get me (non-Davidson student that I am) in to see it.
Several themes emerged:
Wow. Pro-war Americans tend to be, um, patronizing and paternalistic. A few quotations. "My suggestion for you is to overthrow your government." "I think what you all need to do... [I didn't bother writing down the rest." "Let me remind you..." These are college students that clearly care about their country (then again, how could you not when war is looming?) They don't need to be taken by the hand and babied.
