Why the Iraqis hate us

(Photo of Baghdad by Ali Mohamed)

Alternet published an article by Mohammed Ibn Laith of Gorilla's Guides, which you can read here.

It consists mostly of three photographs. It is very disturbing.

A note from the Alternet editor reminds us that one way to obtain information about what is really happening in Iraq is to read Iraqi blogs every day. Bush, as you know, bypasses the media's "filter."

Although it is true, as the editor says, that the bloggers' writings are "only the opinions of the Iraqi bloggers who contribute," they will certainly give us a different picture than the one painted by the Bush administration and the Pentagon through the American media.

More information is always better.

How do we know what is true and what is not? I wish our media was free to report as they once were.
