Do you think you know what is really going on in Iraq?

Question

All the news reports is the newest body counts, who hates who, and the likes. I am in country and sometimes I don't even know what is going on here.

Answer 1

Do you know about Iraqi people? In 6th century they killed the grand-son of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) introduced democracy in Arab world. Muabia, the father of Eajid, introduced Kingship instate of democracy. Imam Hosain, the grand-son of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) tried to upheld the system of democracy but people of Iraq made a trap to kill him and invited him to Iraq from Modina the then capital of Arab world, which was established by the Prophet. When Imam Hosain came to Kufa, Iraq they besieged him and his family on bank of river. They made obstruction to take water for drinking. They killed him savagely and amputated his head from his body.

Answer 2

With the way the liberal media attacks the situation in Iraq we will never get the right picture. Unfortunately society is so twisted that they don't want to hear the warm and fuzzy stories that have come out of Iraq, they all want to hear about the blood and gore. What is going to get more ratings? "Tonight, 7 American soldiers killed, we have it on video" or "US Troops bring school books and food to starving children in Baghdad". Which one are more people going to watch. It's sad to say but the first one would win by a landslide. Such a sad thing. Our society.

Answer 3

Yes, I have a relative stationed in Iraq, he tells me, what you see in the news is not always correct. The news never tells us about the good deeds our forces are doing, schools, roads, shopping etc. The Iraq people love to see our troops coming into a village, they know there will be candy etc. for the kids.

Answer 4

Of course not, news agencies make their news, not report it. They find what they want to do their stories on. Every news agency has an agenda, and they will make it look as good, or as bad as they want to portray.
The only ones that know are the brave men and women, and the Iraqi people.Prove me wrong.

Answer 5

Just one thing is clear: Iraq missed Sadam who was the proper man for people, place and time which are full of hatred, revenge and retaliation of trivial things. Look at the deaths statistics and see how many deaths happened during Sadam's regime (in about 28 years' time) and how many deaths happened under democracy which is only three years old in Iraq. The problem of President Bush is that he wanted to preach a religion (democracy) which in fact is not suitable for place and time of people whose minds are dominated by prejudice and fanaticism, besides Iraq being the prey of many countries (Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Gulf States) who wish that this change would not have happened by the USA and her allies.

I personally wish Mr. President Bush learnt the lesson. Hit, bombard, banish rulers; do whatever you want, but never occupy land of others by your armies. Don't Afghanistan and Iraq represent another mire (not for America, Britain and the allied countries) but for Mr. President Bush?

I think it was a million times easier for Mr. Bush to win Sadam on his side by political means than to destroy his regime or to impose democracy on people who haven't had the a b c of democracy yet.

There is a verse in Arabic poetry which says "Fire eats itself up if it doesn't find what to eat." This verse may be useful in the case of Iraq. Iraqi fire eats allied soldiers and foreigners and if Iraqis do not find foreigners to eat up they eat themselves up.
