I was being glib about the possibility of believing the sons were alive after the bodies had been shown in public. I realize the citizens don't have trust in the media and their actions and reactions are different than ours.

I also believe propaganda is universal, not just in Iraq. Governments use it liberally to get the reactions they deem necessary for their own use. The various religious factions in Iraq are and have been ready for civil war for centuries and Al Qaeda is doing its best to antagonize. I will state "sarcasm" in the future to avoid misinterpretation.
