"But I'm afraid the American attitude of today is like the British attitude of 120 years ago during the Empire. We thought everyone wanted to be an Englishman and live an English life, celebrate the queen and have cream tea. Americans seem to believe that everyone is envious and wants to be part of America. It's as though they haven't learned the lessons we've learned in a very hard way." Goldsworthy cites photographs showing American soldiers ordering Iraqi civilians to lie face down in the dirt while they are checked for weapons. "For Arabs, to be spread-eagled with your face in the dust is a hugely shameful thing," she said. What the Iraqis want more than anything is respect, and to feel valued and feel treated as human beings," she said.' |
