Speaking of which, I got the name of the blog author wrong... it's Zeyad. Alaa is a different Iraqi blogger. There are several of them.

I believe I read about the rally on MSNBC...and in Metro (yes, the free daily handed out by SEPTA here in Philadelphia). I've been mostly out of the loop this week due to work.
Ummm...Goethean, Fox News is by no means even suspected of being leftist. Quite the opposite, actually. I'm not trying to make any excuses for the major news media, but let's be real here: good stuff on a small scale doesn't get viewers or sell papers in a time of relative calm. Now, 10,000-25,000 people is nothing to sneeze at, mind you...but that's peanuts. Get 500,000 to a million or so...THAT'S a story. Having said this, I am surprised that this didn't get more attention b/c the media seemed so hellbent on showing "good stuff" coming out of Iraq in the days leading up to the fall of Baghdad. |

Thanks to the cellar for pointing it out. Unfortunately, my tunnel vision of late caused me to miss it originally on the news.... um, yeah.

Craniorectal. Hmm.. I'm stealing that word. Thanks GlassJaw. BTW, I agree with you 100%.

Syc, I think you underestimate the concern of Joe and the rest of the Bumfuckians about what's going on in Iraq. Joe may not be cognizant of all the nuances, but he knows everything going on there is important to us(U.S.) right now.

I disagree, Bruce. I think Joe cares more about what happens to our troops, not necessarily the Iraqi people.

That's what I mean about the nuances. Joe doesn't know what's important and what's fluff, so he listens to everything about Iraq with equal interest. I guess he depends heavily on the media spin also.
