Three Days to Go!
Dean Esmay is spearheading a fund-raising effort to help American marines build an Iraqi television alternative to Al Jazeera. Yes, believe it or not, our government did not think to include this in their plans for rebuilding Iraq. Fortunately, our military is on the ball and are asking for our help.

Oop, two minor things:
1) It's worth mentioning that our government DOES fund Radio Sawa, which is basically Radio Free America in Arabic, in Iraq, and they also provide feeds to CNN and Fox News in Iraq. So it's not like they compeltely dropped the ball. It's just the local angle that's been missing.
2) We're also raising money simultaneously for medical supplies, tools, and other aide for both Iraqis and Afghans, all to be distributed by service members volunteering. It's not just the TV project!
Just thought I'd mention!
