What i saw in the news for the last weeks really made me sad, i've seen a interview with people who run the new "free" radiostation in Iraq. There is a US Soldier inside the station with a gun inside rereading the news, asked what he is doing was "he ensures that Iraq has a free press", later on he told the German reporters that sometimes, if the free press dosn't mention some new great things the US did for iraq, he writes articles which have to be sent.
Asked if he also dosn't allow them to send some articles they wrote - he said "yes"
Welcome reporters of "free iraq"
Later i read a article on BBC about the new mobile phone standard in iraq. It is different from any other arabic country and it is different from the turkey standard (has a border with iraq) - it is the US standard. It's easy to imagine that they have to follow that standard so that US companies get the contracts, also it dosn't make much sense (every iraqi who wants to visit a neighbour country has to buy a 2nd celphone etc)
Then an article about Afghanistan shocked me (remember that free and liberated country?) Since August last year the Taliban are on the rise again, most insiders think that the Taliban reform in Pakistan (friend of the US)
Osama Bin Laden and Mullah Omar are verry likely to be alive and active and the current president of Afghanistan Hamid Karsa isn't accepted by the people of Afghanistan
To stop the rerise of the Taliban there is more military force needed - no democracy is still far away
Seems like the western world f***s it up again. We shouldn't be surprised that those people will hate us more then ever in the future.
