Thanks. A concise summary of what for many of us on this thread is too familiar. I'm sure there is little new for you in These key people in the Bush Administration - Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz – have used the war on terrorism as an excuse to try and subdue Afghanistan and to establish US military and increasing economic ties with former Soviet Union states around the oil rich Caspian Basin. Planning for the Iraqi invasion began before 9/11. Although rarely talked about by either politicians or the media in the States except by Chomsky et al, Iraq is widely understood by informed observers globally as a premeditated aggression to set up a client state for US ends, especially oil. There were no WMDs; Saddam was a minor, local threat at best; and there was no link between Iraq and al-Qaeda. But it is rarely if ever discussed in the American mass media. Less than an hour ago, I finished watching a rebroadcast of last night's Charlie Rose. It was surreal. A amazing amount of blather about superficial inanities wrt Iraq, but never remotely facing the underlying realities. I can't believe there isn't a market and an appetite for the truth. So how to pierce this veil of the superficial? Perplexed. lurqer
