msh says:
CNN? They were among the biggest cheerleaders for the war in Iraq,
only slightly less enthusiastic than Fox News. They're slightly to
the left of, I dunno, William F. Buckley? As for NPR, they are
operated by a guy who ran Voice Of America radio for many years,
hardly a citadel of dissent. Unless you think Car Talk is
subversive. Commercial media, I'm afraid, is useless for any kind of
serious analysis of events.
As for Saddam, as I mentioned in detail earlier, there were people in
Iraq trying to remove him from power and begin democratization a
decade prior to the war. If these folks had been given even a little
help from the US, such as stopping the murderous sanctions against
Iraqi citizens, they may very well have succeeded. No, the object
wasn't removing Saddam, the object was, and continues to be, to
occupy Iraq.
Best,
Mark
