“This leaves two channels: Iraq TV and Shabab (youth) TV. They are still full of patriotic songs and useless ‘news’, they love the French here. We also saw the latest Sahaf show on Al-Jazeera and Iraq TV, and the most distressing minister of Interior affairs with his guns. Freaks. Hurling abuse at the world is the only thing left for them to do.|On BBC we are watching scenes of Iraqis surrendering. My youngest cousin was muttering ‘what shame’ to himself, yes it is better for them to do that but still seeing them carrying that white flag makes something deep inside you cringe.” Raed
