But, what did you think of the girl? Don't give me any excuses, "she was under pressure", "the Iraqi was rude and arrogant."

To look at these former Iraqi people and scoff at their opinions and their new citizenships is a complete joke. Of course they're going to be bitter and upset, they left Iraq for a reason.
I haven't seen any former Iraqi citizen come out in favor of Saddam yet, or even anti-war. Not saying there aren't any, but doesn't this make you wonder?

She doesn't need excuses - the girl was a fucking idiot.. probably 80% of the protestors are.. about the same as the pro-war people. Do you seriously think the views of dissenting Iraqi's are going to be given the air-time of pro-war iraqi's?? No way in hell. I've seen people here say that the people that are protesting are muslim's and Iraqi's on one hand, and then say no Iraqi's are against the war on the other.. There are plenty of anti-war Iraqi's. If you watch protest footage you should see some.
I guess I just don't like seeing things get a little unbalanced - I guarantee you most if not all of the pro-war Iraqi's are Kurd's or Shi'ites, which is kinda like asking what a palestinian living in Israel thinks about Ariel Sharon.
I'm not of course saying that it means disregard their comments.. Saddam's treatment of the different sects is the best reason for going in and taking him out, I'm just saying don't get caught out by the propaganda, or in this case, the selective voices being shown.
besides an Iraqi against the war isn't a new's story, you'd expect it.
