BAL-LA AL MOUSS

It is a definitive battle in the history of the world against imperialism, ethnocentrism, and deceit. Look around and you will see there is support for the resistance all over the world. In Brazil, Iraqi resistance clubs have sprung up. There is even an Iraqi resistance comic book series. Go to google and input "Iraqi resistance" in the image portion of the search engine and you will see U.S. citizens in Detroit, or in Pittsburgh, or in New York, holding pro-Iraqi resistance signs. This battle has worldwide implications. But, the U.S. keeps saying that things are going well. Dick (appropriately-named) Cheney stated that it was in its death throes. Since then, the numbers of casualties have escalated. What’s going on?...
