I don't know but something seems odd. We base our opinions on the very same media we bash over and over on the forum. What does it say about us?
It also declared that "finding a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a critical component to winning the war of ideas," and said that "no other issue has so colored the perception of the United States in the Muslim world."
"information about the world is contaminated by falsehoods and corrupted by conspiracy theories."

But I feel Iraq has MORE of a right to be angry at the Americans.
Hundreds of thousands? Facts please?
Saddam butchered hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.
As did the Turkey but no one seems to talk about this, why? Because Turkey is in NATO.
He used WMD on Kurds to ethnically cleanse them out.
Financed and armed by USA.
He further killed hundreds of thousands more in two wars of his making - Iran
So why USA financed him? Why did they armed him? Ah yes, for cheap oil. Money can buy anything even a dictatorship who kills thousands.
His rape rooms were notorious and so were his torture chambers ... 10s of thousands suffered through them.
As in Saudi Arabia, an ally of USA.
In addition to all that, there hadn't been free elections in Iraq for 40 years.
Exactly and they aren't speaking enough about this in the medias.
Now there are. The Oil for Food money that was supposed to be going to the Iraqis ended up going to Saddams palaces and in the pockets of the UN security council to buy their votes.
If USA get out of there and that their puppet government get out of there also.
None of that is happening now. The Iraqis have an opportunity to become a free and stable democracy.
They have dozens of reasons to be angry at the US. One of them is the use of depleted uranium.
No. Iraqis have no right to be angry with Americans. And for the most part they are just angry with the INSURGENTS who keep killing the iraqis and who necessitate America sticking around. Without the insurgents, we'd be gone already.
As a lot of people in the world says everyday.

As for all that stuff about it taking years to stabilize... by 1948, Germany was quite stable, thank you. As I have pointed out in another thread, the US is losing the war in Iraq.

you still regurgitate the same old half-truths.

Ya'll don't like the fact that Saddam was a butcher. A mass murdering butcher. Government sponsored rape centers along with mass torture and mass murder. Mass graves have been overturned. Hundreds of thousands dead in his two ego wars with Iran and Kuwait.
