Ray:

Yes, I saw that. What's your point? That CNN and "the propagandists" led us to believe there were throngs of Iraqis there?

Whichever news channel carried the event that I watched that day made it clear there was not much of a crowd (I believe the commentator said there were fewer than 200 people present at the toppling). So what?

Obviously, you've decided that the vast majority of Iraqis did not want to be liberated from Saddam by the US. In your view, any evidence to the contrary is propaganda, fabricated and false; evidence to support your position comes solely from anti-capitalistic (that would be Socialist) and fringe websites. I've read them, and I've read Truthout; they lack credibility, balance, and reason.

Time to run my charts; have a great weekend.
