From Iraqi Konfused Kid:
I’m gonna tell you something that all the Iraqis who pretend they’re full of pride and shit don’t tell you, every Iraqi who knows what’s good for him wants the US military plan to happen - it’s a known fact today that while US soldiers do occasionally rape 15-year-olds and add naked photos of our hairy butts to their family albums, they are still infinitely more trustworthy than any Iraqi soldier from anywhere. When an American soldier knocks on your door for a search, you go 'oh thank god' but when Iraqis do the same, you are instantly on your toes.
Read the whole thing, please.
There’s a wide variety of commentary coming from Iraq these days, on blogs — military blogs, diplomatic blogs, propaganda blogs, and Iraqi citizen blogs. What’s most striking to me about all of these sources of information is this: while they all have different perspectives and different kinds of information … I haven’t found a single one that even comes close matching the awful picture painted by the lamestream media. If you read these sources, as I do regularly, you’ll discover a different Iraq. A much more plausible Iraq than the one you see on CNN, and also a much more complex Iraq. There’s good news and there’s bad news, and plenty of both. And contrary to what you’d believe if your only source was the talking network heads, there’s plenty of those most precious human commodities: hope and inspiration…
