- Summary: Iraq dominates the news. But what is daily life in the country like for ordinary Iraqis? In this program, 3 Iraqis talk frankly about the trials their countrymen and women have endured over the last 15 years through war, crippling sanctions and the current occupation. They talk of why the very Iraqis who welcomed the Americans a year ago now feel betrayed by their so-called liberators.

Perspectives of three individual Iraqis venting frustrations that are probably common to millions. Valuable because they communicate well at an emotional level. Perhaps also helpful in promoting a level of understanding of recent history from the Iraqi perspective.
Their comments will surely be dismissed by many, may resonate as honest opinions by more sympathetic listeners. Not "news" nor containing any surprising revelations, just unfiltered views from seemingly moderate, educated Iraqis.
Good production values, effective use of music.
