I could not believe my ears the other day - usually the BBC seems to go out of their way to report the negative of the US - but the man in charge of the BBC to the Arab world was on. What he said was interesting in response to the prison torture and the Iraq conflict.<br /><br />He said he most of the Arab world will send negative emails concerning the US and what is going on in Iraq, but he emails coming from Iraq are different. They are glad the US is there for a time, the "tortures" are much less than what they faced at teh hands of Saddam, and if they must put up with a US occupation for a while, it is worth it to get Saddam out of power and let them live free lives.<br /><br />Sounds like a lot of the population of Iraq are glad we are there - and that is from the BBC!
