Q: What's the most pernicious myth that Americans have about Iraq or the Iraqis?
A: The all-too-popular notion that Iraqis are fundamentally ruthless and cruel, that they are more interested in bloodletting than living normal lives, that they hate the children of those of different sects and ethnicities more than they love their own.
Iraqis are really not much different from their American counterparts in their fierce devotion and love for their families, and in their desire for a better life for themselves and their children.
