The guy lived under Saddam's repression and he's glad to be free of him. He wants America to succeed, so that his country can be independent...so in some ways he's very naive or optimistic.
At the same time, his friend who works as a translator for media was beaten by American soldiers.
His past entries have the sort of ironic sadness that seems to be part of the survival technique of the humane under a totalitarian regime.
