#Iraq20YearsOn I was a freshman at Davidson College, NC, when, just a week before the war started, Dr James Zogby organized a videoconference between a group of Davidson students and students from Baghdad University. The Americans were divided about the war, the Iraqis weren't. Image They talked sanctions, the Kurds, WMDs. And freedom. "Don't you want to change at least some things around you?" asked the US kids. The Iraqis were reluctant to criticize the gov, but 1 girl said: of course we do, but it's hard to think abt that when you expect the bombs to drop.

Nothing normal or fair about the proceedings against #JulianAssange.
