I’m watching streaming video from al-Jazeera. They just ran a package going from quiet Baghdad to pounded Baghdad to ablaze Baghdad to gruesome photos of a child whose head was blown in, dead bodies lying in pools of blood, and the like; then to an upset mother, etc. The U.S. station won’t run them because they are so awful and the source is, well, al Jazeera. But legitimate or not, this is the face of the war to people in the Arab world.
