the BBC opened a forum for Arab readers to allow them to voice their feelings about the “hatred wave against America”. This time the forum has a special significance because Arabs are directly related to this topic and the largest part of this “wave” comes from Arab countries.
I’ve found that all Iraqi participants (except for two) carry no hatred for America, not to mention the admiration and gratitude for America that were clear in some Iraqis’ comments.
During the eighteen months that followed 9/11 we were dreaming of the day when the 'zero hour' finally comes and nothing will ever match what we felt when we saw the first missile strike Saddam's palace.
After we started this blog, we had the chance to meet many Americans, both civilians and soldiers and we discovered the noble feelings and the warm wishes they have for Iraq and Iraqis and that made me believe more than ever that we've put our trust in the right place.
Yes, I love America and I'm a friend of all American, and I'm truly proud of that, and so are many, many Iraqis who owe their freedom to the great sacrifices made by American people."
Read the actual Iraqi comments. This blog has been a constant source of information daily since the media seems unaware that we have won hearts and minds. The Iraqis long for freedom and are enduring the hardships caused by the ongoing strife caused by radical elements coming into their country.
