Did anybody see the Today show yesterday?
Katie Couric did an interview with a 7th grade teacher and a few of her students from the US (I can't remember where). These students have been emailing "penpals"- other children living in Iraq, and getting these Iraqi children's opinion of the war, etc. and when it came time to protest the war, these american students protested as well, as one girl put it, "When my teacher asked me to, I agreed"......my question through the whole interview was.... does the average Iraqi family even HAVE access to the internet? How do they know they were actually speaking to just a regular Iraqi child via email?

There were little liberal trolls on the other end of the internet emailing these kids to get them to listen to their public school teacher so they would protest the war.

Well, Saddam has to do something to entertain himself while he's hunkered in his bunker.
