Baghdad Burning

Baghdad Burning was the blog of a 24 year old Iraqi woman who lives in Baghdad. It is her personal story of Iraq from March 2003, when the war started to I think August 2004. All I got from this book is how evil America is. The whole book she rants on and on about how evil the American troops are. At no point did I agree with anything she said. How dare she say a single word against the American troops. She also takes shots at political figures the entire book, like Paul Bremer. Paul Bremer went to Harvard and Yale, he is also a former ambassador. She is a 24 year old Iraqi computer programmer. Who is she to criticize? The whole book I simply thought that maybe we should pull out of Iraq and let the insurgency completely destroy the whole country. This woman does nothing but complain about how the American troops offer no security to the Iraqi people. Maybe the Iraqi people should not bomb each other. She wants the UN peace keeping forces to be there instead of the US Military. I would love to see how the UN peace keeper forces would do as opposed to the US Military. The strongest military in the entire world vs. the UN? I wonder who would do a better job in securing the country. Ms. "Riverbend" should have never published a book that shows the slightest sign of disdain for American troops who risk their lives every day for her. When they really don't have to. She is nobody.
