How can we get this information to the Iraqi masses in Bagdad and elsewhere? Surely this is not how the command man and women intend to live, they better rally to the US forces in masse and turn in the terrorists or else live under their rule, we must get this kind of information out. Things can be even worse than Saddam made them.

I have friends with family in Iraq. The workers and soldiers all say the same thing. The majority of people, including the terrorists, have no idea what is really happening. There is no TV or news yet in many areas and even radios can only get Arab propaganda.
Some of the soldiers said that the enemy they captured were stunned by the numbers of our soldiers and our firepower. They had no concept of what they were really up against. Most have been isolated by their leaders and don't know anything about the world or the USA. Others were made to believe that the Americans were not that powerful and would leave as soon as they were opposed.
Coalition workers have said that outside of the larger cities, people are shocked by the amount of aid and knowledge given by the workers. Many had only heard of but never seen what we consider conveniences.
