This Is Why We Went To Iraq

For those of you falling for the biased crap the media is feeding us about how "bad" things are in Iraq or those just tired of all the negativity about Iraq, read this entry from Omar over at Iraq The Model blog. Don't just stop at this entry...read through his blog, it's full of optimism and positive stories. Keep in mind that this is an Iraqi citizen, a "man on the streets" if you will.

You sit in a restaurant like this one and see families relaxing with their children playing and having fun late at night and you feel that there’s ‘something’ wrong in the way MSM is dealing with the Iraqi issue. I watch TV and I see hell breaking around me then I go outside and see enough normalcy AND progress to make me believe that the people in the media are not here to report how’s life going but rather they are here reporting
pre-prepared stories and to be faced with something that contradicts the picture they have in their minds would be really annoying and will mean more hard work to try to find the truth or something close to it.
