Well..it says, "file not found" when I finally got this link from my friend who e-mailed this article to me, so I'll keep trying.
************************************************** ***

"Iraqis are getting on with their daily lives, hungry
for the new political and economic freedoms they are
enjoying. Although this is not what you see in your
media, it is a fact.

"I have noticed [...] the [Western] media have [...]
neglected and omitted several times [... that] Iraq is
made out of 18 provinces. Out of these 18 provinces,
14 to 15 are completely safe; there are no problems.

"I call upon the responsible media -- throughout the
world, not only here -- to look at the facts as they
are in Iraq and to propagate these facts to the
international community.

"These are facts that one really needs to explain to
you, and you need to explain it to the people.

"You can find out yourselves that the Iraqis,
tremendously, by and large, respect the United States,
and respect the other partners in the coalition for
helping Iraq, not only in liberation, but now in
helping Iraq to rebuild itself and to rebuild its
institutions."
