Go to his home page and read the report from last month (May 24) about just how the media generates their reports from Iraq...very interesting and telling. It is sad how the media is being manipulated by this administration, and the media just 'takes it lying down'.

This guys postitive report about life in Northern Iraq (the Kurd controlled area) really gives support to the notion of just how flawed the Bush plan of attack on Iraq was. If Bush was any kind of leader he would have been able to get Turkey's support for the idea of 'liberating' the northern third of Iraq (all that was needed was to promise Turkey a spot in the European Union). And then he could have taken the southern third by moving in through Kuwait. With those moves, one takes the oil cash flow away from Saddam, and allows for easy transport routes to supply food and medicine (as opposed to cash payments from the UN that went straight to Saddam's pocket) to the people of Bhagdad so no one starves while the blockade puts pressure on Saddam. This plan also restores Iraq to the natural cultural regions it was for 19 1/2 of the previous 20 centuries...

- But junior wanted to play war...it's no fun unless you can light up the night sky over Bhagdad just like daddy did!!

A Fork in the Road

Dohuk, Northern Iraq

Approaching Dohuk, a short drive north of Mosul, brings to mind the countryside in Italy. The war is over in Dohuk. After suffering perhaps a half century of fighting, the people have finally gotten the peace they wanted long ago. With the old Iraqi government vanquished, Dohuk is thriving. In fact, this Iraqi city appears to be doing at least as well as--perhaps remarkably better than--many comparably-sized towns in Italy. A visit to this place affords more than a break from the rugged routine of war; it also provides a postcard of a possible future for all of Iraq...
