I have no idea any more where you are going with this or where it is coming from.
It is patently ludicrous to directly link literacy or education with intelligence. I have met a number of "uneducated" people who were as smart and creative as anyone I have ever met. Hell, one used to be my boss years back, and he was not only less educated than most of the people working for him (learning disability), he was also a good sight richer. And it wasn't inherited either.
I have also met college professors I wouldn't trust to change a flat tire.
Your view of the Iraqis as "childlike" is unnerving, and reminds me of some liberal elitist views of minorities in our country.
