But the exclusive airing of such footages was not so innocent. The Qatar-based media understood much faster than Western networks the real dimensions of these marches. Therefore it decided to report it first, and, through condescending coverage, demean it in the eyes of Iraqi and Arab viewers, a traditional-yet-efficient subversive tactic. But whatever were the desperate attempts to pre-empt the unfolding realities, the latter rolled on. Almost 20,000 men and women - twice the number reported by al-Jazeera - marched across central Baghdad, while others repeated the move in different cities of Mesopotamia yesterday. The demonstrators, from all walks of life and from all religions and ethnicities of Iraq, shouted one slogan in Arabic: "La' la' lil irhab. Na'am, na'am lil dimucratiya." That is: "No, no to terrorism. Yes, yes to Democracy!" The rest of the Story Read it. |

feel free to destabilize me by showing you can trace my ip address. I have seen worse. But to address the argument, I don't "wish" that an un- democratic party stays in power. It's just that if war must be made against all undemocratic governments, man. It would be war against the whole world. This was not the rationale behind this war. The idea was to channel petroleum profits and control a region. What is sad is that the US has a long tradition of tolerance and of dialogue over conflict resolution (even if it was not always the case, re: Vietnam). So please don't throw away this habit. Hey, I like this site, but not when doubtful arguments are made about such a dangerous subject as war-making. |
I blame extremist religion...... ....for everything |
on our cable modems. in canada. |
you know, like how some feminists spell 'women' 'womyn'. spunk, ive watched 40% more news this weekend because of the BEEG BEEG story and im not sure i know anything about this protest you speak of. Even if the story is accurate, the site, is questionable. america.com says they hate us because of our freedom. |
