Kesher Talk

An antiwar demonstration I can respect. As announced for several weeks, thousands of Iraqis gathered in Baghdad yesterday to protest the terrorism of the Baathists and jihadis against the Coalition forces and the Iraqi people. Meanwhile, a clueless American reporter misses the story that is unfolding right under his nose. According to a justifiably proud Jeff Jarvis, Iraqis are the real journalists.

A commenter on Buzzmachine points out:

I'm not sure why people aren't calling this what it is. A genuine anti-war demonstration. The Iraqi people (well, at least the protestors) want the war against Iraqis to stop, and the war against the US to stop as well. Why not call it what it is?

Anyone want to pull on your hip boots, wade into Indymedia, post these pictures and call for a solidarity rally?

No wonder the world's dictators want to control the internet.

UPDATE: More Iraq demo links.

UPDATE: All the news that's fit to print?

UPDATE: Knight-Ridder comes through. So does the NYPost.
