1. It was a mob.
2. They were not shooting at anyone in the water; they feared someone was in
the rushes. [We all fear the unknown to some extent.]
3. Look at how some of your countrymen treated American Muslims in the

Those three facts led me to the conclusion that whilst the Iraq response was
wrong, it would not be unique to Iraqi culture.
