Subject: RE: BS: What Have We Learned from the War?
The Chomsky interview is pretty scary but, as usual, he cuts through the crap and bases his opinions on the facts.

We noticed that in virtually every speech that we heard by George W. after September, 2002, he began by talking about the horrors of 9/11 and then proceeded to talk about the horrors of Sadaam. He never said that Sadaam was responsible for 9/11, he just mentioned them togteher many times.

As the war was getting underway, there were many peace demonstrations in our little town and that led to several "support our troops" demonstrations. At one of these, we saw a sign which said, "What part of 9/11 didn't you understand?" We were strongly tempted to approach the man holding the sign and say. "We didn't understand the part where Iraq was responsible" but we decided not to because we know the person carrying the sign and his mind would not have been changed.
