Description:

Visit http://www.aliveinbaghdad.org each monday for new videos about life in Iraq! Today Alive in Baghdad brings you the opinions of two Sunni doctoral students. We hope the diversity of their opinions, and disagreements about the nature of fundamental subjects such as the right of resistance will help break the misunderstanding of Sunni opinion. Sunnis, Shi'as, Kurds, and Iraq's various minorities have personalities and opinions that speak past these simplifying identities used in the mainstream press. Alive in Baghdad is totally funded by donations. Please consider donating to help support our work.

Well, they articulated pretty well. I suppose I'm not living in iraq, but it would interesting to see whether most people see the americans as planning to stay for ages or leave. It is interesting to me that the guy who blurred his face speaks out against the violence while the other guy who sort of supported the resistance against the US did not. It seems if you don't say you want to resist American occupation, you have to hide your face or face being hunted down and killed.

What really bother's me is that the Arab countries should be stepping in taking over from the U.S. But that brings up the Shia and Sunni acting like christians in N. Ireland, and the Arabs and Persians are staring at each other like Deniro looking in the mirror in Taxi Driver "you talking to me?". If the Iraqs just stopped fighting we would be gone unless that's not really the agenda here - both our's and their's...

Non-violent resistance has been the only way to bring peace and justice in modern times. Examples, India, South Africa, and with Martin Luther King and civil rights in America. In modern times, confronting the Army only destroys yourself. Organize against the occupation by non-violence.

Backward in what regard? I would say that India's economy is 'emerging' I guess you should read the book "The world is Flat' by Thomas Frieman to see how India's ecomomy is more flexable and modern that the US. Peace

India still needs human rights reform; as with China. I think Gandhi only won cause the rest of the world saw the unnecessary violence towards the Indians as a savage thing; peace is not a characteristic of Indian culture.

Non-violent resistence is a tactic against occupation, discrimination and other abuses of power and for the most part, has been the only way that has been successful in bringing change. Change not peace, because resistence always brings about disruption. But suicide bombs change nothing!

peace actually is a charateristic of indian culture. buddhism was founded in india as well as hinduism and siekism. all of these are extrememly peacefull religions that are followed by most of the population.

The gentlemen in the video managed to have a civil conversation on very charged subjects that involved their friends' lives and their own lives being in danger as a matter of everyday life. This is a model for exchange, and the only way towards peace. If you can't comment without adding inflammatory remarks, you are not adding to the dialog, but merely being a tool of your own emotions, and perpetuating violence in your own small way.

Karma52 is a fucking tool. I'm sure that the CIA cloned a couple ragheads and their family, and trained them to yell 'Allahu Akbar!' whenever one of their suicide bombing tools killed innocent people. If you beleive the thoughtless drivel you just typed, then you should open your fucking eyes.
