I think, regardless of the circumstances, that incidents like these are teaching Iraqi people the value we place on free speech. Go ahead and argue that he was saying some dangerous slogans--it doesn't even matter to me. It shouldn't take too much intelligence to deduce that the children probably won't make such a distinction.
