A New Blog from Iraq

If you haven’t already, check out the new blog from Iraq by Alaa called The Mesopotamian. Here’s a sample of what you’ll find.

You have amongst you in the US alone an estimated more that one million Iraqis, not to mention the other Iraqis elsewhere in Europe etc., These are christians, Moslems and etc. from all groups of the Iraqi population. The vast majority of these are patriotic and for a new Iraq.
But you also have the Mob, just like the dancing peasants of Fallujah, these are ignorant people who know nothing and can’t see past their noses. We are disturbed by this level of ignorance which cannot distinguish friend from foe, and lumps everybody under generic classifications which bear no rhyme or logic behind them.
Please fight this ignorance, please be kind to our compatriots in your midst. Remember every body what President Bush has said : ” Our greatest allies are the Iraqi people “.
Many people ask whether we have heard the President’s speach. Yes we have. Immediately the Chorus of AlJazeera, Al Arabiya, etc. and amazingly, CNN, BBC etc, started their spoiling, doubt-semming, bitchy insinuations, interviewing, this character from egypt and that “analyst ” from Syria etc. ( seldom an Iraqi is asked, or if they find one, a well known former close associate of the Saddam regime or someone like that ). Pretending to be objective, pretending to be “balanced”, they try their best to kill the joy that the shining reassuring words bring to our frightened hearts.

Deluge the man with hits.
