italian medias this evening shown iraqi's attitude towards british troops

today all the italian news programs show one of the most incredible scene of the war in Iraq. A convoy of the UNDP escorted by british troops distributed food to the population of a small village in the Faw peninsula, an area populated by scitis population "liberated" since the first day of war. The iraqis, after the distribution, started to sing a patriotic song and then chanted slogans against Bush. The british sergent was incredulous and when the reporter asked him the reason of that situation, he said that since the first day the iraqi people was totaly ostile to the troops, even when they give them food, water or medicines.
I don't know if you in Britain saw the same scene, but i think you must to know that iraqi people won't receive troops with flowers, as someone in your government said some days ago.
respect for the british and th americans that opposite this criminal war!

Never saw the chanting of anti-Bush slogans, but Channel 4 showed a near riot of desperate, panicky looking people while the voiceover spoke of "smiling, grateful" Iraqis!

lies and more lies by the news

The Iraqis may not love Saddam, but they certainly respect him, and prefer him to rule them than any zionist/british/american puppet dictator. As for these Iraqi "exiles" who keep popping up on t.v saying how they want the americans to liberate iraq, well what do they to the families of the 300 dead civilians, mostly women and children, at the hands of their "liberators"? Al-Jazeera is showing the true devastation of this "war", not the lies and spin of the western pro-war news. The Charred bodies of iraqis civilians in their cars, and the mass destruction to a whole market place today by "coalition forces" was conveniently not shown on UK television.

Iraqi Exiles on US and UK TV

Iraqi Exiles on US and UK TV who have come out in support of this war should be in Iraq now fighting for it's liberation if they believe in this war so much.

Instead they are sitting comfortably in the U.S. and U.K. spreading U.S. neoconservative propaganda and while someone eles does the dirty work for them.

What a ridiculous comment from george. 'The Iraqis may not love Saddam, but they certainly respect him' -'hate'and 'fear' would be more appropriate...or perhaps you too are looking for a job at the BBC. If you'd actually watched the TV last night you'd have seen that the bombing of the market was the main story on most of the channels.

I have family all over Iraq

One scenario:
- You are liberated be grateful.
- But you killed by father and husband.

I have family all over Iraq. I am against this war. And yes Saddam is a dictator.
This should have been solved peacefully thru the UN.
* Weapon inspection should have been left to continue.
* Lifting the sanctions.
* Implementing targeted sanctions on Saddams regime.
* As the weapon inspections are forced upon the regime, human rights groups should be stationed all over Iraq.

This would have given the strength and hopefulness back to the civilians. Meaning; the beginning of the end for Saddam.

I will never ever see this war as liberating my relatives; if they survive.

This is bigger then Iraq and so many people all over the world knows that. This is about The Project for the New American Century
