But if the best possible scenario ever unfolds, if peace arrives even in Baghdad, if the government becomes truly moderate and representative, if rainbows break out in the skies and the fields fill with smiling children and bunny rabbits, somebody, somewhere, will complain that Iraq has been taken over by the imperial powers of Kentucky Fried Chicken and Starbucks. No truer words have been written about this war.

The trouble is that Mr. Al-Fadhily's hysterical exaggerations, refusal to provide crucial context, and outright fabrications amount to a serious case of journalistic malpractice.
Thanks T4B.

I'd like somehow to make the following my tagline, but it is too darn long!
But if the best possible scenario ever unfolds, if peace arrives even in Baghdad, if the government becomes truly moderate and representative, if rainbows break out in the skies and the fields fill with smiling children and bunny rabbits, somebody, somewhere, will complain that Iraq has been taken over by the imperial powers of Kentucky Fried Chicken and Starbucks.

Michael J. Totten is on my A-list of required reading - he is one of that rare examples of real journalism and honest reporting of the facts.

Now why would the Inter Press Services be looking to write unreliable information? (Sarcasm on)

GREAT article! Thanks for the ping.
The Marines out there in Ramadi and Fallujah are pretty bored these days. ;-)
