text: how come the news never tells the american people about all the good things going on in iraq? i am trying to make people think.  i have a long list of very good improvements and completed projects made in iraq. i have pictures  community leaders smiling and shaking hands with the soldiers and civillians who made the improvements possible... such as simple medical care that has never been avaliable or even treated water without diseases. i have never, ever heard the american news report on it or show it. i believe the opinion would change if all the news was reported instead of all the bad. what do you think? and you can't tell me it isn't happening especially if you weren't there. i've seen it with my own eyes. the bad always draws more attention, sells more papers, gets a bigger audience.  i for one would really like to see the good news.  what is being done for the iraqis that we can be proud of, really helped them, made their life better.  i really become tired of constantly hearing how they hate us and wish we had never gotten rid of saddam.  just give us some indication that we are not sacrificing our troops for nothing and all this means something good to the iraqis.    vietnam vet - looking for some hope.
