Wall Street Journal reporter Farnaz Fassihi, 31, who has been stationed in Baghdad, sent an e-mail to what may have initally been a small circle of friends, outlining the ever increasing deterioration of Iraq. Doh! The e-mail is out and paints quite a vivid picture that defies what you might see on mainstream media, even though it is she who works for the mainstream media.
Despite President Bush's rosy assessments, Iraq remains a disaster. If under Saddam it was a 'potential' threat, under the Americans it has been transformed to 'imminent and active threat,' a foreign policy failure bound to haunt the United States for decades to come.
...Iraqis say that thanks to America they got freedom in exchange for insecurity. Guess what? They say they'd take security over freedom any day, even if it means having a dictator ruler.
I heard an educated Iraqi say today that if Saddam Hussein were allowed to run for elections he would get the majority of the vote. This is truly sad.
Read the whole article - it gets better, and before you think this is phony, note that the WSJ's managing editor has confirmed the authenticity of the e-mail. |
