Does anyone like this war except CEOs of Haliburton and Oil companies. The GIs may say they are for the War, But having been there done that I know what they really think. They hate it and want to come home, to a man, every one of them. They can't speak out against the war as it is considered treason. The rules for GIs are different than for us, you aren't allowed to speak bad against your superiors or the job you have been given. You are a puppet of your superiors, and if they tell you to say the war is going well and you think you are helping the Iraqi people, then that is what you say or you end up in the stockade. I'll guarantee you not one soldier wants to walk down an Iraqi street being nothing but a target for IEDs and snipers, you'd have to be insane to want that. When they say the war is going well, they mean for the war profiteers, and that my friend is the fucking truth!!

Iraq on the right path Generally speaking, the media worldwide report predominantly about the sensational, catastrophes, deaths, controversial statements by international personalities, wars, celebrity stories, gossip, rumours and the abnormal. News about socio-economic success, development and progress is scantily tackled. A veteran German reporter told me this kind of news is boring for media consumers. People prefer the sensational. Hence, media providers fiercely compete to get hold of dramatic events. This is Rating: 5
