All this makes for great propoganda, but who is to say it is the truth? I have read eyewitness reports from Iraqi civilians and others painting quite a different story -- that the US Army has purposely targeted hospitals and killed doctors and patients, as well as non-embedded journalists, and has been methodically and randomly terrorizing and killing civilians. Is it true? And again, as for democracy, let's begin at home, and open an inquiry into why the 2004 exit polls showed Kerry winning by the same percentage (or more) than that that was eventually given to Bush (not to mention the non-election of 2000). Statistically this has been shown to be virtually impossible. Exit-poll discrepancies like these have always been taken as evidence of election fraud in every other country, including most recently Ukraine. Why were our "fair and balanced" media all over the Ukraine results, while barely mentioning our own? Or is this whole thing just another story? My point is, you seem to be wholeheartedly swallowing everything that the traditional media are dishing out about "we-good; they- bad." I am guessing that if a foreign country invaded the USA under the same pretexts we gave against Iraq, most of us would now be "rebels" and "insurgents," and not overly inclined to believe the invader's words when they don't match the deeds. Had you heard that only 5 people now own our major media? (IS this true?) To me it has become pretty obvious that they are *all* feeding us pretty much the same story, and that story has become excessively censored and biassed (or maybe halfassed). Or maybe that has always been the case. Or is this yet another story?
