thunder run on baghdad.

It a documentary on iraq war seen from the eyes of bhagdadis, both military and common folk. This war was extensively covered in media but I've never seen it from the eyes of people who were on the other side.

After all this time, i realize how racist and cruel this war was and such contrast to how we viewed people of ukraine. Helped me reflect on my own racist attitudes.




Recently watched a four part documentary on the Iraq war by DW on YouTube. It was actually quite shocking, some of the details. Like how the electric infrastructure was destroyed by the USAF with the help of the French engineering company which built their power stations, but it was never rebuilt.

Under Saddam they had air conditioning, now many Iraqis don't even have fans.
