At the end of the post And Life Goes On... in your blog Baghdad Burning you write:
It's about needing someone who wants peace, prosperity, independence and above and beyond all, unity.
Can't you see the contradiction between unity and all the former things? Unity means that everyone is to do the same. This directly contradicts independence. Unity and hence no independence means that everyone will be fighting to know whose opinion will prevail upon all others. This directly contradicts peace. Unity, hence no independence and no peace means that everyone will have to fight or submit to fighters, and won't be able to do the things they know could improve the lives of those they care for. This directly contradicts prosperity.
As long as you put unity before all the former, you're actually supporting the oppression you're suffering from, be it from dictators like Saddam and Khomeini, or from demagogues like those you have in Iraq currently.

( Lire la suite... )In case you missed the news or rather its coverable by sensible people, We Got Him! Great news. See what Glenn Reynolds says. Pictures at 11! And of course, the happiest people about it are the Iraqis. Check what THEY say (also here and all over the blogosphere).

curiousTo counter the disinformation that is omnipresent in France, and whose unique object is anti-american propaganda, here is Iraq as seen from the inside, in English, from various iraqi points of view: Healing Iraq, that is much deeper than the nice well-known Where is Raed?. See also The Mesopotamian, Iraq At A Glance, Iraq The Model, Hammorabi, Baghdad Burning. For the US soldiers' point of view, see Lt Smash, Chief Wiggles. As for news and comments, there is also Today in Iraq, Command Post, Iraq, and on the higher-level political side, Daniel Pipes. The list grows everyday, and though I updated it several times since the original post, you will be better off following the links for a wider coverage. OK, so the iraqis who publish are educated english-speaking iraqis. Do you think that the opinion of an illiterate uneducated poor guy who isn't open to the world will bring more relevant information? | Pour contrer la désinformation qui règne en France et qui a pour unique objet la propagande anti-américaine, voici L'Irak vu de l'intérieur, en anglais. (Suivre les liens de la version anglaise.) Sinon, en français, un bon site d'analyse du fait militaire en général est CheckPoint Online. |
