I have seen more media coverage from Iran in the past week than I have seen from inside Iraq ...

... over the past 7 years.

How can that be?

1. How would you feel if you saw deaths in Iraq? n/t

[realisticphish]

2. they're forced to

the twitter/youtube phenomenon made it way to obvious to the general public for the media to ignore. They see the Iran stuff is popular, so they report, to get viewers :shrug:

Iraq didn't have the same stream of internal information.

3. We watched the invasion on Live-Cams placed all over Baghdad

What happened to them?

4. yes

but the internal structure failed quickly; Iran still has power, the internet, phones, etc. They may be heavily censored, but they're there

5. You know how unpopular war must be right now because the Republicans

should be screaming about loose nukes in Iran, shouldn't they?
