You'll have to check out Bill Moyers "Buying the War", which was also on PBS and outlines how the press basically gave Bush a free pass to invade. <BR/><BR/>-Ben Morgan<BR/><BR/>http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/btw/watch.htmlBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845728156095026686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14255235.post-72626159386479576802008-04-03T12:47:00.000-06:002008-04-03T12:47:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845728156095026686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14255235.post-21040204388896519202008-03-26T19:42:00.000-06:002008-03-26T19:42:00.000-06:00amen, girl, amen. couldn't have said it better mys...amen, girl, amen. couldn't have said it better myself...Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813244655138063642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14255235.post-89263438052134354552008-03-26T10:38:00.000-06:002008-03-26T10:38:00.000-06:00Hiya, Mindy!

I really should watch this show but I'm already sick to death of the whole war (and no one wants to hear me rant about how I felt like the lone voice of reason years ago when I said it was all a bad idea and it seemed like I was the only one in Utah who didn't vote for Bush). Sigh. How frustrating. I think I'll go back and look at your lovely Easter pictures again and your Pieta photo. I need a little cheering up.Julie Q.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13737557893649934725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14255235.post-17375939473906253432008-03-25T22:15:00.000-06:002008-03-25T22:15:00.000-06:00good post. the iraq war was/is unbelievable. and i...good post. the iraq war was/is unbelievable. and it's unbelievable how many people still "support" bush et al.<BR/>on a happier note, cute easter pics.deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647539927931676936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14255235.post-2399940542536049562008-03-25T15:58:00.000-06:002008-03-25T15:58:00.000-06:00I agree that we do have an obligation to at least ...I agree that we do have an obligation to at least leave Iraq better than we found it (I'll call that <I>Good Camper Foreign Policy</I>), but I don't think the men in charge have the foggiest idea of how to do that. <BR/><BR/>And I'm still completely cheesed (as I was at the time) that we've essentially given up on Osama bin Laden.mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281399488401861671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14255235.post-40299087985793969102008-03-25T15:20:00.000-06:002008-03-25T15:20:00.000-06:00My blood pressure just shot up about about 20 poin...My blood pressure just shot up about about 20 points. I saw this show was coming but I couldn't bring myself to watch it. I just had a conversation with my sister-in-law about this very thing. Look, I don't know who is right here and I never know who to believe between politicians and reporters. But I do remember, from the very get-go, feeling very uncomfortable with the decision to invade. It felt hasty. It felt shady. It felt wrong--at least at that point with the evidence (or lack thereof) presented to the UN. And I seem to remember the rest of the world saying, "just hold on, let's get some concrete evidence before we go in." But then all of the sudden, there we were. And here we are. <BR/><BR/>As much as it pains me to say this, some wars are necessary and I'm glad that in the past our country took a stand and entered into some of them, even if it happened to be against popular opinion. They were noble causes and our involvement helped carry out justice. But this war does not appear to be one of those times.<BR/><BR/>Before the war the French Foreign Minister stated "let us not forget that having won the war, one has to build peace." We can't leave until we do that. Our actions created as much if not more chaos than existed when Saddam Hussein led the country and it is our duty to put it right for the people of Iraq.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735013592389681469noreply@blogger.com
