This is great. Just great. Thank you Robert F. Worth. For all in Middle Eastern studies. A New York Times reporter reveals his reading list on Iraq (and the Middle East). Now we know why they sound so ignorant and so uninsightful and so unwise. And then he says this: "There is one thing more or less lacking in the English-language literature on Iraq, as far as I know: good fiction." How about reading fiction IN ARABIC. How about that Mr. Worth? How hard is that you, you, you...esteemed New York Times reporter.
