Hi Neocon; Re: "Do you work for an Arabic tv station? How is it that the spin with you is always anti- American."
He's definitely an enemy sympathizer. But so is most of Iraq. Go back and look at that latest polling result. Look up the numbers for "US troops behave Very Badly".
Re: "The opposition gets every benefit of the doubt, the Americans none."
I told you that this would happen before the war, but you went on in anyway. The occupier is always blamed for everything bad that happens. In our own country, the Republicans blame the Democrats for everything bad, and the Democrats blame the Republicans. That sort of evens things out, but in Iraq right now, only the Americans are in power, and since none of the Iraqis is American, they naturally blame the Americans.
This is just normal human behavior and is entirely understandable, but it is hopeless to fight it. If we want the Iwaqis to wuv us, we need to get off of their land.
If the Islamic Fundamentalists take over in Iraq, they'll be the ones blamed when there's bad weather, not us, and the population's fickle support for them will wither.
