Re: Lawless and free are not synonyms
Hopefully they will learn that with freedom comes responsibility. There are many Americans that do not understand that. Many Americans think freedom means they can do whatever they heck they want to.
I doubt the Iraqis will take their new freedom for granted, as we Americans do.
Right now, the Iraqis are in what I call the “first day of college” stage. By that I am comparing them to that college student who is out from under their parents and for the first time and experiencing freedom for the first time. I have actually seen this many times. They usually end up drinking and partying too much. After a few days, they usually come back down and learn how to deal with their new freedom.
