American values exported to Iraq

Well....not quite the ones America should want to be associated with. It appears segregation has reared its ugly head in Iraq between Americans and the people they were sent to protect.

Iraqis — including interpreters who walk the same foot patrols and sleep in the same tents as U.S. troops — must use segregated bathrooms.
A(nother) sign, in a dining hall, warns Iraqis and “third-country nationals” that they have just one hour for breakfast, lunch or dinner. American troops get three hours. Iraqis say they sometimes wait as long as 45 minutes in hot lines to get inside the chow hall, leaving just 15 minutes to get their food and eat it.
It has been nearly 60 years since President Harry S. Truman ended racial segregation in the U.S. military. But at Forward Operating Base Warhorse, it is alive and well, perhaps the only U.S. military facility with such rules, Iraqi interpreters here say.

It doesn't stop there however. A cheap, no frills airline was started to shuttle people out of Iraq....only Westerners need purchase tickets. Expat Airlines takes passengers between Baghdad and Jordan, but Iraqis, Indians, Pakistanis and other non-Westerners are not allowed on board. Expat Airlines was started by Pro Group, Inc and the Jordanian Air Force, but it's not difficult to see the fingerprint of occupation on this project.
