| Iraqpundit: When Good News is Bad News |
| 2007-11-08 |
| An actual Iraqi comments on actual good news actually happening: I know those who are wedded to the idea of a failed Iraq are calling me a deluded idiot and worse. But things are improving slowly. My relatives in Baghdad say there's no comparison; things are much better than they were six months ago. They can visit friends in different areas and walk about the neighbourhood in the evening. Frankly, I don't understand why so many mock us for wanting a future for Iraq. Is your hatred for George Bush so great that you prefer to see millions of civilians suffer just to prove him wrong? In some instances, sad to say, it's more like "if a few million people living under tyrrany is the price of electing Democrats, it's a price we're willing to pay." In others, it's Bush hatred, or America hatred. In still others, a desire to follow the latest trend in elite opinion. It really comes down to this: you are determined to see Iraq become a permanent hellhole because you hate Bush. And we are determined to see Iraq become a success, because we want to live.

| #1 It's too bad that they can't know that the majority of Americans do support them. It's just a small percentage who do not - but unfortunately they are a very well funded minority with a very big megaphone. |
