Sorry if this has been posted.
An Iraqi tells it like it is to an anti-war campaigner and doesnt hold back, wonderful.

god I'd like to play that to all these 'not in my name' w*nkers in Cambridge but I doubt I'd be able to prevent myself from losing the plot completely.
edited to add, I started off as a 'not in my namer' but I listened to other points of view,discussed it with people here and dug up a bit of history and realised that I was wrong

that was refreshing. I was beginning to wonder whether there would be any protestors shot down by the voice of an iraqi - ie someone with whose position you could not argue with. after all, that woman was trying to tell him what she thought was best for his own way of life! my favourite bit was when he started calling her "little girl" 
That was a great post. Last night on one of the networks here, they went to Dearborn Michigan (largest Arab population in the US) to an Iraqi tobacco bar to ask them their opinion.
They all support the war. Most said they want to go back after Saddam is gone to help set up an American style democracy.
Early reports in some of the cities too, that the people are relived to be liberated. A woman threw herself at a Marine's feet in Umm Qasr, and other esidents talked about Saddam the Butcher.

There is no answer to that question, given the person asking it.
I only wish that these people protesting can hear this and take note. I suspect that a large percentage of the Iraqi people will be somewhat better off without Mr Hussein.
I only hope that his removal comes at as small a price as possible (on both sides)

Well I suppose different people have different opinions, I watched debates and discussions involving Iraqi people, some just out of the country some been here for years, opinion seems to really be divided in Iraq, some want a war to remove SH some don't want a war because they feel that an externally imposed change won't be right for Iraq in the long run.
Remember this mp3 shows just one side of the argument.

quite agree and the fact that this Andrea was particulalry awful at answering his question. You can be for changing/geting rid of Sadam Hussein and still be against the war (I am). The other point to note was that this was an iraqi living in America. Were he living in Baghdad at the moment would his opinion be the same?
Did anyone see the BBC news 24 where they interviewed a very emotional bloke in Jordon. He was definetly not for the war stating that the fight would never be over.
