coverage of the constitution ??

well, we just had a country we liberated vote (again), at the risk of their lives (again), and the constitution passes the vote.. and there is not a shred of coverage... not one ounce of coverage on this topic. yet, you cannot turn on the news, listen to the radio, read the paper, without seeing 2000 soldiers killed.. it's not presented in the context of the progress being made in iraq.. it's presented as if this is another vietnam.

the press in this country is so blatantly biased against this administration (and country, for that matter) that it makes you sick. they have plummeting ratings, people are fed up..

we have had 2 successful votes in iraq - with more of a % of registered voters voting than in our own country.. iraqi's are risking their lives to vote. we can't get off our couches enough to care to vote.

yet, the coverage of this event would have you believe that iraq is a total failure.. we are losing the fight for democracy. nothing could be farther from the truth - and the proof is in the sheer numbers of iraqi's voting on their constitution.

i think it is sickening to see people in this country, calling themselves americans, saying they 'support the troops', openly hoping for more dead, no progress, more terrorist attacks.. their hatred for the administration outweighs their love for their country. frankly, in their minds, we should stop being a country.. we should conform to the enlightened folks in europe and the rest of the world. these same intellectuals seem to forget we won our independence from that way of thinking over 225 years ago.
