[news] The War on Education in Iraq

[Resist!ca]

by Robert Fisk; UK Independent; July 14, 2004   The Mongols stained the 
Tigris black with the ink of the Iraqi books they destroyed. Today's Mongols 
prefer to destroy the Iraqi teachers of books. Since the Anglo-American 
invasion, they have murdered at least 13 academics at the University of Baghdad 
alone and countless others across Iraq. History professors, deans of college 
and Arabic tutors have all fallen victim to the war on learning. Only six weeks 
ago - virtually unreported, of course - the female dean of the college of law 
in Mosul was beheaded in her bed, along with her husband.
