The Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June 2004.
There are 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election and they had a televised debate recently.
Our media does not tell us any of this. We get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraob and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.
Does this undermine the world’s perception of the United States thus minimizing consequent support ?
Is not reporting facts like these a blatant (and very effective ) attempt to make the current Administration look bad in this election year ?
Do the citizens of the United States deserve better service from the media ?
Is Iraq better off, or at least well on the way to being better off, than it was under Saddam Hussein ?
