What the people of Iraq are really saying.

[Dave123]

Here are some site for you to consider. These are honest sites with some hate mail too, but for the most part they are very possitive. Please share these with other people.

Iraqi Pro-Democracy Party...

We believe that we represent an important segment of the Iraqi people that was never organized before under any category as a result of the oppression of the past regime. Now this segment has come to see the necessity to contribute to the building of a new Iraq in a way that is entirely different from the old ways.

Iraqi bloggers grab global interest

By Sarah Brown

BBC News Online

Ordinary Iraqis use blogs to speak to the world directly

While reconstruction in Iraq remains fraught with violence and political infighting, the country is experiencing a surge in popularity of online diaries, or weblogs.

Written by ordinary Iraqis keen to tell the world about life in the troubled country, the sites are also attracting the attention of a global audience keen to learn about the lives of local civilians.

One such blog is Iraq The Model, an online diary focusing mainly on politics and reform which is written and run by three Baghdad-based brothers - Mohammed, Omar and Ali.

Ali, a doctor, told BBC News Online that he and his brothers developed the blog because he wanted to send out a more positive message about events in his home country.

"More than 90% of major media outlets have a rather negative agenda and what's the benefit of us doing the same?" he asks.

"We do feel optimistic about the future of Iraq, but we see many facts about Iraq that are not covered, which is a shame."

"They [the media] ignore pictures of good relations between the Iraqis and the coalition and the good interaction between both sides, they only focus on bad events - like what is happening in Abu Ghraib."..."

So now the Iraqi people will be telling the world what the main stream news media has refused to report, that the majority of the Iraqis want us there and are extremely happy to be freed from the brutal dictatorship of Suddam Insane, I mean Hussain.

That's only if you are selective about which weblogs you read:

Here's a very intersting weblog being written by an Ameriucan journalist who is inside Baghdad, he arrived November 5 and has been logging his experiences there almost daily since then:

Yes, that is the truth.

I would trust my links from the people of Iraq over the American journalist, and your second link isn't working. Take the time to look the links over that I gave, there is actually some hate mail too. This is what people do when they want the truth to come out, and not their slant. The first two links I gave are from a site started by the Iraqi people, in their language and translated to ours by a Iraqian. No American involvement at all in making these.

Which makes his point. You are still quoting the American media which contorts and ignores facts and refuses to allow the ordinary Iraqis to speak for themselves.

He is showing the majority of Iraqis think. That is what we need to be hearing.

Unfortunately the American media wants this war to look like Vietnam, which it is not. I would trust the words of the Iraqi people more than a slanted media report.

Especially if you only listen to the voices of the Iraqi people that agree with you. Propaganda wars.

A propaganda war in which you fight well.

And I thought you were opposed to any kind of war...

I suggest that we be very careful when listening or reading any of this stuff. Each side will only post what supports their view.

I believe the truth will be in the middle somewhere.

The coalition's own study says 92% of Iraqis see us as an occupying force and no longer a liberating one. Well over 70% said they'd like us to leave. I think that's a clear indication we've worn out our welcome over there.
