"A GI's Guide To Iraq"

Impressively ignorant and offensive, even for official US government paperwork.

EDIT: mhoye brings me a full PDF of the one from 1943

It sounds pretty accurate, actually.

"Don't convert them to your religion." Some people need to be told this.

I also like the line about reluctance to accept responsibility, in case something goes wrong later. Urr, that's true for everybody, not just Arabs. I'm glad that line's there, though, because I don't think everyone understands Actor/Observer difference (http://www.disenchanted.com/dis/lookup.html?node=1858).
