View Full Version : The Baghdad Blogger Big Booger May 13th, 2004, 16:06 PM http://dear_raed.blogspot.com/ Good read. I didn't get to every post. But I will. Seems to offer more insight into the real world of Iraq. Nabbed that from: http://tokyotalk.tk Nikto May 13th, 2004, 20:52 PM Been reading him for months, Boog. His early stuff is out in book form, he writes for the Guardian newspaper and appears on BBC's Newsnight. A cracking Baghdad blogger is Riverbend: a really bright and articulate Iraqi woman (and she's as mad as hell): http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/ Big Booger May 13th, 2004, 23:19 PM She seems pro-militant.. but under it all you can tell she is a moderate.. who despises Bush. :D phishhead May 14th, 2004, 02:24 AM does anyone like bush? rik May 14th, 2004, 02:55 AM does anyone like bush? Yes. I do. FastGame May 14th, 2004, 04:04 AM does anyone like bush? Yes, I do SupaStar May 14th, 2004, 04:14 AM does anyone like bush? Well at the risk of being flamed, I'd have to say that I don't like bush. Well at least I'd like to see less bush. What forum is this again? :o Big Booger May 14th, 2004, 04:21 AM The question is not whether you like him or not, but rather has he improved the quality of life of Americans? And then you have to ask, how has his presidency impacted the world? There are always two sides to every coin, some choose to favor one and ignore the other. I try to flip it back and forth to get a good view of the situation.. I can say this, if I lived in the US, I'd probably be a lot more supportive of his presidency than living abroad. When you live outside of the US, you get a different perspective, and a different take on the situation. Has he done good work? Yes. Has he done some terrible things? Yes. He is like any other president.. you gotta take the good with the bad. Perhaps in 2004 time will tell whether he has enough public support or not. SupaStar May 14th, 2004, 05:53 AM Well BB some interesting questions come to mind... What do those living outside of Australia think of our PM?? Do you guys even remember his name? :p Has he done anything particularly good (or bad) that stands out? Big Booger May 14th, 2004, 11:17 AM Mr. Howard took a hit with those refugees.. but other than that I think he is well respected throughout the world. But it'd be interesting to actually know how many Americans even know the name of the Aussie PM. I'd chance to say less than 20%.. but you never know. :D rik May 14th, 2004, 14:17 PM What's an "Aussie" much less a PM? :D FastGame May 14th, 2004, 14:25 PM What's an "Aussie" much less a PM? :D A PM is what you'll get if you insult one of our resident Aussie's ;) :D rik May 14th, 2004, 17:36 PM :D Lmao SupaStar May 16th, 2004, 07:22 AM A PM is what you'll get if you insult one of our resident Aussie's ;) :D Hahaha :D zipp51 May 17th, 2004, 03:20 AM I didn't know Australia had a Prime Minister.I thought they had a President.Didn't know his name either,thanks for the info.I wish our president could be well respected,I probably wouldn't know his name if he was. :D
