Mainstream media coverage of the Dec 10 march was lame. The NY Times stuck a single photo on an inside page. Their new ombudsman got a flood of mail and acknowledged that the Times had dropped the ball by not covering it. Turns out that intrepid Times reporters don't read blogs, which would have told them about it in advance. Le Monde, of all papers, did cover it: lemonde.fr an English translation: dailyablution.blogs.com Some of the best coverage came from Zeyad, an Iraqi blogger with a camera. He took the most pictures of the signs. healingiraq.blogspot.com

Hi Jacob Snyder; Re: "link, please? I'd like to see what the signs they were carrying said, and what the chants were. Just to verify that you aren't engaging in more wishful thinking." I love how Nadine blows hot and cold on the Arabs. One moment they're vicious baby killers addicted to lying and unable to understand the Jewish concepts of love and truth. The next moment they're valiant supporters of the American way, just praying for us to bombard the remainder of the Middle East into submission. There wasn't a single poster asking for the Americans to stay, or for people to quit killing Americans, or what a great guy Bush is. The closest we got to "Iwaqis wuv us" were posters saying "no return to dictatorship", and posters saying that sabotage and killing Iraqis is "not resistance". In fact, there were no posters asking for the resistance to cease. On the other hand, there were plenty of photos indicating what a great place democratic Iraq is going to be, and probably an indication of why we keep delaying elections: healingiraq.blogspot.com healingiraq.blogspot.com healingiraq.blogspot.com healingiraq.blogspot.com healingiraq.blogspot.com healingiraq.blogspot.com And the size of the demonstration was small compared to the regular demonstrations saying no to the occupation. -- Carl
