Oh my God -- this has made my evening!! Remember Iraq the Model, the site that called for America to invade EVERY COUNTRY in the Middle East and regime change them all? Well, this week they had yet another obscene post slamming the 600,000 number that came out from the Lancet. It was ridiculous, and almost sounded like a parody. Well, the Kid just let him have it:
http://ejectiraqikkk.blogspot.com/2006/10/iraq-model.htmlUnderstood, I appreciate democracy and freedom of speech, but I can safely say that the viewpoint of the people behind this blog represents about somewhere between 2 to 1% of all Iraqis, I would even go as far as call it an anomaly created by an extra chromosome or something, there are people, especially those who oppose religion and identity, who could get sold up to the American Dream, to be part and parcel of all the ideals America stands for, I am not saying that Arabs are helplessly monstorous that they oppose liberty and democracy and want to be spend all day playing Russian Roulette with swords, but there is such a thing as an identity with your nation, and these guys make me sick with their obvious sucking-up they are doing to be sold out to Americans. It could be that they are just trying to achieve a common goal of a modern, democratic Iraq by sounding like a brainwash, but they play it so industriously well that my intuition tells me that there is something else on the take.
IRAQ THE MODEL is an example of the mentality that currently prevails the Green Zone, nervous Iraqis who just want to make a few bucks by catering to an audience and telling them what they want to hear, maybe their intentions were earnest in the beginning, but now things have started to look messed up and if they deviate from the fake sugar-ass bullshit they've been shoving up their audience their popularity will end, so they choose to go all the way, working up a good chunk of money with all the revenue from the ads until they can safely call it quits and retire in some nice Friends of Democracy-compatible country, spending all their well-earnt money on hoes and booze.
"fake sugar-ass bullshit"? Damn, that's good!! But this is unique in one way -- this has never happened on the Iraqi blogosphere. They never link to each other and disagree. Never. So this is huge, and it's causing a storm -- normally Kid has maybe 10 comments -- there are currently 132 comments (unfortunately a lot of right wingers but what are you going to do). Later, he mentions that he doesn't want the Americans to leave -- but, you know, I'm STILL going to read him because I want the truth, even if it's something I don't want to hear. Because you know, we liberals live in a reality based community.
This was just great! The whole post is worth a read, so check it out.
