if you're looking for good news from iraq...

Look no further.

Iraq the Model has kindly translated some comments by real, live Arabs, sent to the BBC on the occasion of September 11th. What they say may surprise you. A sample:

“America offers freedom for free. It’s true that I’ve never been there and I don’t have friends living there either but I keep America in my mind and soul. Hatred was brought to us by the extremists; the enemies of mankind.
I and every true Iraqi love America because to us she represents freedom and liberation. America untied us from Saddam’s chains and also liberated Yugoslavia from her dictator and liberated Germany before that. History is full of events that support my feelings”
Hazim Al Shammari-Baghdad/Iraq.
