Apart i had a let's say, a more "decorated" view: To "create" a unified Iraqi public opinion for those outside Iraq on issues of national interest.<br />That was two years ago. In the meantime the list grew longer & longer from five to ten to... Now it has some 40 names in it, most of them people of the same direction of thought. I used to send a comment on events with a copy of an article on the subject. Unfortunately, after a time it seemed that people lost interest in the whole thing. Moerover, some links did not open or even the Arabic articles i sent were received in unreadable code. & no one of my correspondants even bothered to inform me ...!<br />So much for my unified Iraqi public opinion ;)<br /><br />What i learned from the experience (being in Europe & cut off from the events), is to distinguish rumours from facts & to argue calmly ....!

But this is how it is. You have to see all and accept all and argue with all in order to live with all.hala_shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17788916973072697718noreply@blogger.com
