I would have to say that most of us trust and respond to whats in the news or written by reporters. So we really arnt certain whats it like over there.
Anybody that was actually over there, jump in and tell us what you throught. We got a couple people in the military here.

I visited the region in 98. Not Iraq but Israeal, Egypt, lebanon.....
Things are much, much, much different than they are here. I can really agree with what Dan has said in his posts. We see these people as being terrorists and such but these are people defending their country. They DO see USA as being INSURGENTS & Terrorists. This isnt Canada where the most genarations a family has been here is what? 7-8? Your talking about a section of the planet and human civilisation that has history like no other part of the world. We (The coalition or whatver) have no right to be there right now.
What the USA is doing is murder, simple as that.
Everyday I read that another 10-40 people were killed in bagdad. Its a regular thing on MSN.ca to see. We read that over like its nothing now and beleive what the american news is saying. Shame on us.
What the US media shows is just the tip of the iceberg my freinds, it is very disturbing at what some of the s**t that those soldiers (or the people giving the orders) are getting 'away' with.
Nobody bring up "Yeah but its better now without saddam"
1) How do you know? Go ask the Iraquis, I think they'll give you an honest answer, not what Bush wants the media to perceive.
2) Who drove 2 planes into the towers? Oh yeah.....Canada is looking for that guy right now...
Pics from my freind in Afghanistan...hes there for another year, this is his second tour there.
