Free Iraq

This is the first i've seen of JUS. Is this a source you trust? Its whole approach is very reminiscent of Fox to me and no one could be more biased or more "spun."
 

Congratulations on your blog. It's always nice to see opinions from actual Iraqis on what is happening in their own country. It's also a great idea to include a comments section, so people can ask you questions and comment on what you have written.

On that note, I'd like to ask you: What kind of future would you like see in Iraq? Specifically, do you support the concept of elections in Iraq? If not, what kind of government would you like to see emerge in Iraq? From reading your blog, I understand the situation looks very grim. However, since time only marches forward, I was wondering what your hopes and dreams for Iraq were.

Also, I'd like to hear from you what Iraq was like before the war. What are your thoughts on Saddam Hussein and his 25 years of rule? Was he a bad person, or do you think his reputation was undeserved? What would you say to him if you could see him today?

Thank you for reading this, and I hope I haven't worn out my welcome by asking too many questions. I look forward to your replies so that I can better understand the situation in your country and the future Iraq faces. Thank you again, Paul Winston.
 

Re: Paul Winston
You would find the majority of the answers (in detail) to your questions in my book Iraq's Nuclear Mirage which I wrote immediatly following the occupation og Iraq, as I could not have done so before that (lest I expose those who helped me escape).
As for the future, the first step is to end the occupation. I believe that Iraqis are able to lick and heal their own wounds after the great devastation to their country by the Americans, who will have to compensate for the damages inflicted, and not by Iraqi oil.
 

Iraq election log: 24 January 2004

As Iraqis prepare to hold a landmark election the BBC News website resumes its daily Iraq log. For two weeks, we will be publishing a range of accounts from people inside Iraq about their day-to-day lives.PS: I read somewhere, at the end of last year, that Jihad Unspun is a CIA vehicle. Anyway, I at least do not trust it.

I, too, had initial information that it was CIA influenced, especially in reaction to their highly efficient and feature-laden site.
Latley, however, their consistent translation of Islam onLine news items, who do have reporters on the gorund near the conflict zones and whose many reports do later prove to be correct, induced me to consider them otherwise.
I still wonder who they are, really.
Whoever that might be, they are doing a good job.
Needless to point out, they have recently openly debunked the last two tapes of Bin Laden, and do cast a shadow on the authenticity of Zarqawi.
Now, that is not CIA, rest assured.
 

JUS is a professional canadian web design firm, she went through a crisis and became a muslim and started a web site. Quite expensive... But its like how a white man thinks how a black man behaves and his reasons for a certain action. Not quite upto par but heck...
libertyforum had a huge discussion on it...

Re: above post on JUS
This is indeed a very interesting discussion site.
But which dates did the discussion on JUS take place, please?
 

libertyforum is a huge site but you can not search individual messages, only titles. So I had to use google.. :)

From "Iraq as Disneyland" - "Iraq and the entire Middle East will never recover from your president's illegal war and his chaotic military occupation"
I do not agree with this. They will recover, and they will thrive. American ignorant punk power is not omnipotent, supernatural or eternal. History is very long. The people of Iraq, people of strength, resourcefullness, integrity, faith, cultures of thousands of years - their power goes deeper than any technology or weapon can reach. They will most certainly recover and rebuild their country in their own image.

"On the second day of the fight, word came down to focus on head shots, that body shots were not good enough," said 1st Lt. Tim Strabbing, a platoon leader with the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, one of lead units in the assault to oust the insurgents. The battalion, known as the Thundering Third, suffered 23 dead and 300 wounded. [From Kevin Thompson]
