A controversial site tries to bring you the other -true- side to the story:What really happened! [Archives:2003/628/Last Page]

“There are two sides to every story, then there is What really happened! The history the government hopes you don't learn” this is the first phrase you read when you open the controversial site “Whatreallyhappened.com”.
The site has gained momentum and increasing hits as the war against Iraq started. With its anti-war approach, the site has been active in providing news stories that do not usually appear in the US and Western networks. Examples of those stories are:
– “Shock & Awe” Blinding Investors: The bombing of Baghdad apparently has investors watching CNN's war coverage instead of the latest economic news. If they were paying closer attention to the latest economic reports, they would see that the economy is getting worse, not better. For instance, energy-led price increases are undoubtedly squeezing consumers, and the employment situation is getting worse by the week.
– Iraq torches seven oil wells: Oil wells get more coverage than the Iraqi people. And they said this war was not about the oil!
– Iran Oil Depot Hit By Rocket – Iran Warns US, UK: Trying to jump-start the war in Iran?
– There was little initial resistance as the United States Marines swept into southern Iraq early yesterday:. One of the first encounters of the ground war was more like a massacre than a fight. Where is this fierce and capable enemy we were all told we had to destroy before they destroyed us? Where is the terror that we were told by our leaders we had to fear? All I see are helpless men with outdated equipment being slaughtered by a superpower that raises the flag of conquest over their graves.
Such headlines, stories and comments reflect an opinion that may well be appealing to a large portion of the Arab and Muslim people. However, how realistic it is depends on how well and deep its research capabilities are.
Regardless of all that, there is no doubt that the reality is something that we all want to know, and this site is a good alternative to knowing the other side to the story.
