5. One would suspect as much
I ran into the blog mentioned after undertaking a freep-finding mission one day. The blog links to a series of other pro-American blogs concerning Iraq.

I noticed something right away. There are no pictures, no videos, and no series of testimonials by many different people like there are on anti-American blogs. I also noticed that a couple were hosted on eBlogger. The anti-American blogs are all hosted at their own sites.

These blogs look like something you would carry around in a trunk and set up when needed, which is to say there was no real depth and that these all read strangely similar and non-specific. Also, it appeared that they were tied to places like the Free Republic and other RW sites. All in all, it seemed to be a series of similarly themed blogs with circular reference and no documentation to back up the claims.

I'm sure that some people liked the United States after we went in and took Saddam out. But now, two years later, we have the WMD theory proven falsified, we have Bin Laden making videos at an undisclosed location, and we have no running water, electricity, heat, or transportation in Iraq. Iraq now looks similar to Somalia and Afghanistan during the al-Queda and Taliban regimes. I seriously doubt that they are seeing us as "their saviors" any longer.
