"If the libs could ignore the 10 million killed by Stalin ignoring 15k is child's play. "

Really - In a very liberal part of the wacky city of Seattle close enough to me to boycot, (the entire city) they actually have a statue of Stalin. They like the guy enough to put a statue up.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi people are not getting this news.

When nearly 300 Iraqi exiles, tribal leaders and other would-be politicos met Monday with U.S. officials to plan the nation's future, Iraqis watching television saw a different picture -- street protesters yelling at the delegates, angrily criticizing the Americans and demanding justice for a wide range of grievances.

The images arrived courtesy of Al-Alam television, a 24-hour news channel operated by Iran's state TV and radio network.

The broadcasts are a prime example of how Americans, who won the war against Saddam Hussein so decisively, are so far losing the public relations battle to Iran.

Day after day, Al-Alam gives Iraqi viewers its spin on the country's tumultuous political transition, emphasizing the role of fundamentalist Shiite Islam while portraying the fledgling U.S. administration in the country as a disaster for common Iraqis.
