Language lesson

I didn't realize there are actually many languages spoken in Iraq, but primarily the three biggies are: Kurdish, Mesopotamian Arabic, and standard Arabic.

I would like to know how to say "cracker" in each of these languages. Is it at all possible that there is a single person living in Iraq who does not think my country is nothing but a nation of crackers? Is it a really big step, do you think, between being a white supremacist and being the world's superbully? Isn't the latter just the former on steroids?

So if you've got your Kurdish or Arabic on, help the Trog advance her skills. Thanks.
