This is a mostly French group. It's very level headed. They're responding to gloom and doom in the press. One of their leaders, tagged as "left wing", came out with a very interesting criticism of French govt. actions on Iraq - which I can't find right now...
Now, if we can get the media to stop labeling the Food for Oil program as "humanitarian" that would be an achievement. It's not humanitarian. It's not charity, but using Iraqi's money to buy foreign, esp. French and Russian goods. Including agricultural products which Iraqis can and do grow for themselves - the fertile crescent, no less.
What I've found interesting is the sheer volume of Agent French Presse that actually report facts in a relatively objective manner.
Is it possible that despite the bias against Americans, there are news organizations(and NGOs) that at least attempt to be even-handed in their appraisals and reporting?
