I think the purpose of her thesis was different from that of Dr. Joseph. That's probably why she didn't drive a stake through the heart of our "beloved" nationalist liars. However, that being said, I have met her and spoken with her and she is as honest and devoted to scholarship as they come, as you could tell by reading her excellent writing.

They were opportunists and ungrateftul then, and they still are. Iraq owed them nothing...but was willing to settle them, as new citizens....which they refused and then went to work as Levies/traitors and then went around shooting innocent people when they couldn't get what THEY said was "promised" to them....which led to the events which resulted in Semele...which they then tried to blame on Iraq...when it was THEIR own fuck-ups all along.
