What really happens in Iraq : Iraqi Blogs releases the only truth

Posted at November 23, 2004 7:06 PM in .

When the mass meia is monopolized into some news channels based upon ethnic reflex, and when the truth is no more that a series of photos subtitled by the who come first commenting, in this time where everything is vanished under the U.S. forces authority that rapes all the rights of the iraqi's peaple, journalits and the rest of world, it happens that blogs power combined with the hope for survival of the pyjamas night riders makes some of the truth and if that's not really the full press construction, it would express how they really feel, and the stored phootage in their mind that never stands by.

Before getting power from the blogging paradise itself, Iraqi were -and is still- the country of the litterature overdose with about 50% of the total mass of the books sold and read, so the web galaxy was often a new way for screaming out, and when the Internet connection is compromised in making more efficence than reading mails and news, the reverse wave that comes from the country that doesn't know the rest makes that new web expression engine so powerfull that sometimes you can stop depending in any official mass ressource.

A lot of soldiers and workers inside the iraq have also blogs that sounds intersting, but that makes part of an other philosophy, this should be treated apart.

This is a some of the living blogs with lines bitterness, photos of terror and many many excellent content, just take a look around :

I don't understand your point of comparison when you say: "Iraqi were -and is still- the country of the litterature overdose with about 50% of the total mass of the books sold and read". Do you mean 50% of the books sold in Iraq are via the web?

No the printed book in iraq are 50% of the total mass of all the books sold in the arabic world.

In the past in Irqq, books, authors were super sponsored, all books costs less than half they used to be sold, the authors also were offrerd total sponsorship if their novels were inetersting enough.
