An iraqi's point of view. I find it interesting, as he seems to echo some of the points of SOME unnamed posters here.

HELL WELCOMES ITS LATEST ILLUSTRIOUS INMATE
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Hi,

I extend warm greetings to all my friends after such a long absence.

Well, today is a good day. The urge to express my feelings is so strong that I am back at the keyboard despite the terrible apathy that has gripped me these last months. You can probably guess at some of the reasons for this state of mind. I am not going into details. Only it seems to me that intelligent people should not pay such a high price just to learn some few facts that have always seemed to me quite simple and mundane.

But I don’t plan to go into that today, because today is a good day indeed. An arch zombie has been blown to smithereens. You know, I am the sort of guy who gets distressed at the sight of blood and cannot bear the sight of even a dead animal, believe it or not. But you know, I was shocked at my own feelings of pleasure on beholding the photo of the dead face of Zarqawi. I would never have thought that possible. I have never felt this way my whole life. Yet the atrocities and outrages that these pseudo humans, these misanthropes, have perpetrated have engendered such anger, such sorrow, such rage that not even the most peaceful of souls can control their hatred of these criminals. My only regret was that the death was fast and sudden, and I felt pain that the true martyr of our country our beloved Ussama Al-Jadaan could not witness this day which he had predicted and played a big role in bringing about.

Well, I am not going to dwell on the reaction of people like Al Jazeera (again) who showed their true color today without even any attempt at dissimulation. So this arch murderer of day laborers, bakers, school children and etc. etc., this master be-header of poor hostages and planner of car bombings and all kinds of the most outrageous orgies of mass killings; this man is to be mourned and regretted as a martyr and mujahid etc. etc.!!! Yes, friends, believe it or not these sentiments were expressed openly and repeated hysterically on mass media like the notorious one referred to above. I still cannot understand why when whole countries and regimes are labeled as rogue states and suffer sanctions and the like when, here we have an official state owned media outlet that has played a major role in inciting and aiding and abetting the most violent forms of terrorism; and nothing has been done against them and those who sponsor and finance them. Indeed the state that harbors this state of affairs enjoys the blessings and the best of relations with the west and the free world.

But it is not that which I want most to say today. I want to congratulate the valiant eagles of the American Air force and all the men of the U.S. Army, the Iraqi security forces and all those involved in executing this just punishment and for being the instrument of providential justice. Blessed be the wombs that bore you, and please accept this expression of gratitude and love from an ordinary Iraqi man. And as for you American people rest assured that our faith in victory has not shaken on single iota. I can only end with the words of our dear President Bush: “God Bless Iraq and May God continue to Bless America”.

Al Salam Alaykum

The linguistic structure of that is more than slightly suspicious. Why is it so formally constructed? It seems wrong somehow, but as I don't know arabic I can't be sure.

Ahh, thanks.

Nothing, I found it interesting.

It's from an everyday Iraqi's position. The other side, so to speak. The very people we're trying to help....

So, you're saying that there are people that feel positively and people who feel negatively about something in a country undergoing massive change?

Gee, you don't say.

It shouldn't be any surprise that there's significant support for our goals in Iraq among Iraqis, especially given the number of Iraqis enlisting in their Army and police considering what they're up against.. presumably, those with internet access are doing better than average, but still.

There is no such thing. Opinions among Iraqis vary just as widely as they do anywhere else.

Calling it "the other side" assumes at least two sides.

Remember reading in a book on GFW1 some guys who were in Kurd territory when they came under fire from some kurd sentries. They began yelling George Bush and the kurds took a look over at them and realized who they were and sheepishly smiled.

That was during the first Gulf War. Afterwards, the Kurds started hating H.W., mainly because he never sent them the military support he promised to send when they rose up against Hussein.

Nope. We're all trolls. Some of us just happen to be pirate trolls.
