The level of TV coverage since 9/11 is pitiful - not merely Fox News and CNN - who seem to thrive on war and rumours of war, but the network news and even The Newshour. I used to be a fan of the latter but no more. The true American patriots have had to run for cover in this conformist environment where the official line is gospel and the rogues would have you believe that dissent is unpatriotic. Peace marches go virtually unreported - has there been a time like this since McCarthy? Possibly in the early years of the Vietnam war. So the Amercican monolith is thirsty for blood - now Iraq, then what? North Korea gets off scott free - why? Because an attack on North Korea would be a huge blood letting, including the blood of American boys. In Iraq the latter will not suffer because the bombardment will be such that the country will be obliterated and Iraq can barely retaliate. Weapons of mass destruction? It's a bloody joke - America has them all - including enhanced uranium. And the sanctions which have killed hundreds of thousands of infants, ruined a country's education and health care system - how effective a weapon of mass destruction are sanctions? The bombing campaign in the so called no-fly zones has been going on for 10 years - not sanctioned by the UN incidentally - it goes on relentlessly and we are left to believe that the attacks are in response to provocation - it's laughable. An uncritical press and public accepts what it's told - the war against Iraq never ended and is being stepped up incremantally - in fact the new war has already begun.
