It's a very good website. I take a bow to these young men.
I agree Treasure.
The more I read and learn about average Iraqis like these guys gives me confidence in the future of Iraq.
We always hear that the news does not portray the "good" news from Iraq. I am not sure exactly what is a good news story, but I would count these guys as good news for Iraq.
Yes, Sancho. But have you noticed how they are thinking of leaving Iraq fearing death? What is good in this mass immigration?
Iraq is left in the hands of criminals and clerics who day by day force the educated and elites to leave the country so that they can do whatever they like.
Can you believe that insurgents kidnapped the son of the chair of the department of my college, beheaded him and sent his head in a box to the professor?!! Do you hear such news on the American "independent" and "free" media?!! The aim was to hurt the professor, not the son. They made him flee Iraq with a broken heart. Can you imagine that? in a box?

I can honestly say I had not heard that. We never hear about individual Iraqis here. Only that a bomb went off and X number of Iraqis were killed. Or that this many bodies were found. The term for these as I am sure you know is "sectarian killing." Sometimes they mention if a child or woman was killed.
I got shushed at the bar sunday night for having a heated discussion concerning the war. I said the tax from that beer apyed for one bullet. I was mad.
No one cares in this country, and it amazes me. Sometimes I feel like an alien when I try and talk to my friends about it.
And we also never hear anything about the mass migration from Iraq. I heard one of these generals say that "thousands" of families have returned to there homes. That is one of the signs of "success" that the hawks keep repeating. Is this true? Or the bullshit i assume it is.
All the most educated and professional leaving behind the poor masses most vulnerable to the likes of Sadr and the rest.
A fucking box.
"No one cares in this country, and it amazes me."
You said it my friend. No one cares in this country. Yesterday, one of my friends and classmates was very honest with me. She said she even forgot about the war in Iraq and that seeing me is the only thing that reminds her with this reality!! She doesn't even bother herself by reading the news or asking about what's going on. Simply because she doesn't care.
