Assassinations Tear Into Iraq?s Educated Class

Assassinations Tear Into Iraq?s Educated Class

JEFFREY GETTLEMAN in today's New York Times writes about what may be an organized campaign to assassinate Iraq's doctors, lawyers and judges, and indeed its professional class. I can certainly see why the professionals are perceived to be a threat to the half-educated thugs who too often ran the country in the past and want to run it again. But I don't see much economic nor social progress for a country that kills off its professional class.
