Kerry is a f--king moron who doesn't know what he is talking about. He should get a foot up his ass. I'm sorry but that kind of behavior is just unacceptable. It is not only sad, it is anti-Iraqi and is pro-suicide bomber. It borders on treason.

For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

The difference is that Kerry's statements have a basis more grounded in that nasty thing called reality.
The press should talk about both the good and the bad and just not the bad.

The press should talk about both the good and the bad and just not the bad.
Nothing even compares to what is going on in Iraq, becuase notice, regular lawlessness isn;t reported here in the news, just significant acts of violence like bombings, assasinations, and kidnappings of non-Iraqis.
The good in Iraq is the sort of stuff that never makes it inot the news, like the opening of a school. But guess whatm the press is the same everywhere! Do you think your average Iraqi looks at the newspaper and reads only oil figures and electricity figuresa (not that great anyways) and about new community centers? Or do they, like you, open the paper to sensetionalists headlines and a bucnh of pictures of the latest violence?
There is not only an insurgency, but higher levels of crime, and people in Iraq are like people in the US (ditto press), one murder resonates more then a dozen schools opening, cause you might get killed at any moment, while a school opening 20 miles away is sort of meaningless.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Anyone that is expecting anything else probably should be on drugs."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

Incidentally, Sistani is worried that Allawi's gonna hijack/delay the upcoming elections, and is threatening to withdraw his support.
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 22 - Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani, the nation's most powerful Shiite leader, is growing increasingly concerned that nationwide elections could be delayed, his aides said, and has even threatened to withdraw his support for the elections unless changes are made to increase the representation of Shiites, according to one Iraqi source close to him.
[...]
According to people with knowledge of the talks, Ayatollah Sistani is concerned that the nascent democratic process here is falling under the control of a handful of the largest political parties, which cooperated with the American occupation and are comprised largely of exiles.
In particular, these sources say, Ayatollah Sistani is worried about discussions now under way among those parties to form a single ticket for the elections, thus limiting the choices of voters and smothering smaller political parties.
Ayatollah Sistani, who earlier this year sent tens of thousands of Iraqis into the streets to demand early elections, is said to be worried that a "consensus list" of candidates from the larger political parties would artificially limit the power of the Shiites, who form a majority in the country.
