Baghdad -- 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.

Ping.

Not only we should have pro-American, pro-freedom television stations running in Iraq, we should be beaming TV and radio to Iran in order to help the opposition to get rid of the mullahs.

I don't understand why the US is not doing a better job yet, but I hope pro-freedom Iraqi TV stations will broadcast soon.

Seems like getting pro-American broadcasts going would be a simple thing. How about giving them a real taste of the world with all the programming we get in the states.
