Talk about selective photo taking... Notice a patter of US miltary power.. Blood and guts?

I certainly did, and the lack of shots the like of which the BBC have shown rescently from within baghdad with people reading newspapers etc in the background talking about the 140 or so newspapers that are now available.

who ever took those was somehow connected with US Army. prolly US soldier.

it's nice to see 140 newspapers there, but that doesnt show what's acctaully going on and why so many ppl there start to turn against coalition. if you look at pretty pics only then it's normal to see iraquis as ungrateful bastards, but if you look at these pics... then maybe you might understand why they dont like whats going on in their country.

The news is full of protesters blood and guts and the like. It sells... The fact is though that is a threat faced in daily life not the be-all and end-all. Daily life involves struggles for running water and electricity, a far from ideal situation; but to suppose it is made entirley of loss, suffering, blood and guts is a bit ott.
