http://english.pravda.ru/mailbox/22/98/387/12507_BushSatan.htmlPerhaps nothing in recent times has demonstrated the callous and sadistic evil of George W. Bush more than his "joke" about the failure to find weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq. Thousands of Iraqis and hundreds of Americans have been killed, and are still being killed, and billions of dollars have been spent, and are still being spent, because of the Bush dictatorship"s premeditated lies about Iraq possessing WMDs that posed an imminent threat both to America and the world. Now that the lies have been exposed, the result is not a trial before a war crimes tribunal, but instead an ill-conceived "joke." I wonder how many families who lost loved ones in Iraq are laughing?

But what is even more frightening than the presence of evil is how easily decent, well-meaning people are manipulated by it. During the Iraqi war America was a very repressive place, the type of environment where injustices flourish and hypocrisy abounds. Anti-war voices were censored, anti-war reporters were fired, voices of reason were discredited, legitimate questions were silenced and derision was directed at dissenters who were exercising the very freedoms the pro-war voices claimed American troops were fighting for.
The corporate-controlled media basically became a jingoistic cheerleader for the lies of the Bush dictatorship. News programs were inundated with military "experts" pushing little pieces of plastic around a map of Iraq, treating the war like a children's game or sporting event while remaining conspicuously unconcerned or silent about the veracity of the alleged "reasons" behind it.
