In Canada, our Prime Minister was very unenthusiastic about going to war in Iraq. As a consequence, many media voices were skeptical about the merits of war in Iraq.<br /><br />Of course, Canada is a funny place, in that we have two languages. Maybe the skepticism was a backlash from the Quebecois media.Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-64170361343434413772013-03-18T19:22:21.098+01:002013-03-18T19:22:21.098+01:00The press is supposed to do hold the politicians&#...The press is supposed to do hold the politicians' feet to the fire, but it was a failure itself.<br /><br />Non-professional media such as blogs don't help much either.

It's interesting to see how the warmongering propaganda did spread from the USA to UK and Australia much easier than beyond the language barrier.S Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359796414832859686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-59872118598743870732013-03-18T18:08:17.449+01:002013-03-18T18:08:17.449+01:00One way would have been to have punished to the po...One way would have been to have punished to the point of breaking those people were were responsible while destroying the reputation of those who were foolish enough to steno the lies of those responsible.<br /><br />We appear to be unwilling to do that; therefore there is no deterrent to repeating this process over and over again.FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-38362570501775186862013-03-18T02:50:21.077+01:002013-03-18T02:50:21.077+01:00A bloody war or a sickly season?A bloody war or a sickly season?Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.com
