伊拉克战争使人们大饱眼福,全球电视首次直播真实的战场和战争,美军长驱直入,势不可挡,伊军节节败退,溃不成军,25天激战之后,共和国卫队神秘消失,美军兵不血刃占了巴格达。“看不懂的战争给人们留下了一个个难解的谜团。针对萨达姆的战争结束了,但伊拉克人民反抗外来侵略游击战和巷战却刚刚开始”。当时我面对摄像机的这番感言因为美军的长驱直入而受到不少网友和观众的炮轰,许多专家也认为我的观念过于陈旧。战后一年的伊拉克,我们看到了什么?刚刚推翻了独裁者却又迎来了占领军的伊拉克战乱不止,战后重建没有进展,美国西方式的民主自由不但没有实现,侵犯人权的虐俘事件却屡屡发生。一场遍及伊拉克全境的反抗侵略、反抗占领、争取民族自决、自立和自治的斗争正在如火如荼地展开。“以美军强大的军事实力,推翻萨达姆政权,占领伊拉克领土,还是很容易做到的,这是一...
