As the propaganda machines fuel for a steady barrage of spin it is time to step back and think. A recent ad criticized Obama for his willingness to communicate. All sensible men communicate, suppose Kennedy, unlike Bush, had simply started a nuclear war over Cuba. We may not even be here now. Iraq will get spun in so many ways it is important to recognize one key truth. All discussions should start from this simple truth.
"Iraq did not attack us. Iraq did not threaten us. Our leaders knew it. Our invasion and occupation of Iraq were blatant, indefensible acts of aggression. Therefore, when the very first Iraqi was killed as the result of our actions, we had committed an act that was gravely immoral, and entirely unforgivable. Yet even now, most Americans desperately cling to the notion that our actions might still be redeemed."
