A man inside Iraq, and his website daily diary updates

This is some interesting stuff...

Is this real...It seems he writes pretty good English...

Anyway, I feel sorry for the women and children suffering through the bombing that are against SH...

 

Possum, you "tree-hugger" label is getting pretty old.

If this guy is legit, I don't know how representative his opinion is. I remember a few days ago, I saw on TV (don't remember which program) two nights in a row. The first, an expert on Iraq who has lived in the country for a long time, rant about how the Iraqi people didn't need the war. The second, another expert on Iraq who has lived in the country for a long time (in other words, same credential as the first expert) said the exact opposite. She said that the Iraqi people welcome the American troops to liberate their country.

I suspect that the truth is somewhere in between.

 

And if you read Salam's posts, you'll see that his opinions are in between as well -- he'd like a democratic Iraq, but preferably one that hasn't been bombed into the Stone Age to achieve that goal.

Both of these are from his website (the quote is from the latest post):



There are no waving masses of people welcoming the Americans nor are they surrendering by the thousands. People are [d]oing what all of us are, sitting in their homes hoping that a bomb doesn’t fall on them and keeping their doors shut.
