"B5: What is the one story that you would want told that is not being told about Iraq?
"How much the people want democracy. I get tired of the MSM articles about how it was better before we came. Maybe it was because all of the life and will of the people had been crushed. Is that any way to live? I think not and I think most Iraqis would agree. There is a lot of healing going on in this country and it is moving forward in baby-steps. It won’t happen over night, but I feel the people here [want to] be allowed to make something of their nation worth being proud of."
The latest poll supposedly shows 61 percent of Americans opposed to the Iraq campaign, but they might feel differently if they read or saw something besides the latest bombing or other tragedy story. They might feel differently if they read all of this Blackfive interview with Marine Corps reservist and Gunnery Sergeant Erik E. Duane.
