Why do you people not tell our story? Why do you not say what is going on? Why do you come to our country and see what is happening, you see the schools and the hospitals and you see the markets and you eat with Sunni and Shia soldiers – everybody eats together, everybody works together –you see that Saddam is gone forever and we are free to speak and complain.

You see we are working and eating together and fighting together – Sunni and Shia – you see what we are building here, you see the votes we make as one people. Then you say to the world about a great war and horrible things and how we are all killing each other? We are not animals! We are Iraqis. Look around you! Look!

Yes, I've had Iraqis ask me those questions, too. And I tell them outright that our media is corrupt, Marxist and agenda-driven.

I recently read a story about an Iraqi soldier who was stunned that while at "chow" the American officers would stand at the end of the tables and wait to eat until the soldiers were finished.

He spoke of how unusual and "cool" it was.

Good for you Allegra. Through the internet, our email lists etc. we're trying to get the word out.

But it's slow going.
