Jamie Scott-Long for The New York Times
Hassan Aziz Ali is the host of a call-in
program on Dijla talk radio.
This is my favorite excerpt which should be read by every individual in the world that has had a problem with our Iraqi incursion:
One such program was broadcast June 30, the day before Mr. Hussein first appeared in court. The program director and host, Majid Salim, asked listeners what they wanted to see happen to him. The answer was something of a surprise for Mr. Salim.
"Most people wanted him executed," Mr. Salim said.
Another time, he asked listeners what they thought about the insurgency that has roiled Iraq, claiming most of the energies of the new interim government of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and putting the American occupation in danger of failure.
"We asked them, is it terrorism or is it resistance," he said. "A very large proportion, almost 100 percent, said terrorism. They did not like it."
