Will someone please explain to the popular Western media that this is important for America and the world to see?
"Our people are for the reconstruction", reads the sign. And "Terrorism is humanity's shame". How much more clearly does it need to be spelled out before the anti-war protesters realize what they've been doing? Just how deeply ironic it is that while they fill the streets of their own home countries to try to stop the war and the occupation, these people in Iraq are just as fervently in favor of them?
This is such elementary stuff to understand. "To bribed Arab stations:Killing Iraqis and destroying their civil facilities is NOT resistance". Does this mean nothing to our domestic Left? Are you listening, Ted Rall, you bastard?
Someone explain to the AP and Reuters that this is an extremely beautiful picture:
And while you're at it, explain to France, Germany, and Russia that if they don't want to put their soldiers' lives on the line to free these Iraqis, or even to just contribute money to the reconstruction, American taxpayers have no interest in lining the pockets of their corporate contractors. We paid for this war; we are paying for the reconstruction. We're not paying to reconstruct Europe's economy too. Go fish.
My disgust with European greed and arrogance knows no bounds today.
UPDATE: Hey, Reuters: Y'think maybe this looks like something you should think about covering?
Nah, I know-- the answer's in your slogan: No. Now.
