iraq

I just discovered an interesting video blog created by chattheplanet.com and a group of Iraqi filmmakers. It is "a series about life in Baghdad." As it is filmed by Iraqis, they do a far better job at showing the real Iraq, as it's not just footage from inside the Green Zone or from "embedded reporters" tagging along with US troops. Great personal stories and video footage.

You can see all the videos on the Hometown Baghdad home page or on the hometown baghdad youtube page.

Obviously it is no secret that many people share his opinions and so no surprises here, but I think it's a good sign that an interview like this is being shown on mainstream CNN news from a public figure like Trump (who isn't the Dixie Chicks and isn't Michael Moore).
