Front Page Mag is running a article titled “How the Left Betrayed My Country – Iraq.” Its written by an Iraqi National by the name of Naseer Flayih Hasan and should probably be required reading for anyone who opposes our presence in Iraq. Now, keeping in mind that frontpagemag.com is a strongly conservative on-line publication; I don’t think that invalidates the point made by Mr. Hasan.

While I have no doubt that his comments ring true for him, he is generalizing that he believes as everyone in Iraq believes. Perhaps he is right, as they did have a 100% turnout in the last election, and Saddam did receive 100% of the votes.
However, I\’ve read too many comments from too many other Iraqis to believe that this person\’s feelings represent all Iraqis, or even the majority of Iraqis. Incidentally, I have serious doubts about the degree of isolation he claims, as I read more than one Iraqi blog leading up to, and during, the invasion of Baghdad in March of 2003, and Europeans could come and go as they pleased in Saddam\’s Iraq – indeed, it was considered a nice vacation spot, even after Gulf War 1.
