Just to add my perspective, the best way to talk to anybody about a controversial topic is to share knowledge that they obviously haven't been exposed to. I don't expect this kid to understand the complicated political dynamics at play in Iraq, but you could at least attempt to explain to the kid that 90% of Iraqis are just trying to go about their lives like the rest of us. However, it is also a war zone and stability is very fragile. There are factions in Iraq that are trying to destabilize the situation for their own political objectives. Violence between Iraqis and U.S. forces is at an all time low. Most of the violence is Iraqi on Iraqi at this point, which is obviously a problem, but the religion of Islam has nothing to do with it.
