Iwo Jima, If Covered By The Media Today ... (Very Graphic Heavy)

October 2004 | Zell Miller

[Zacs Mom]

Like most everyone here I loath the biased and negative manner in which the MSM reports the news from Iraq. I recently rediscovered an editorial Zell Miller had written back in October of 2004 describing what it would be like if TODAYS media had covered the battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. I don't see that this essay was ever posted to FR so what follows is Mr. Miller's insightful speculation ~ only now it is illustrated with actual images of this horrendous battle to win a foothold in the Pacific.

What gives him the idea that we could bring democracy to a country that has known only 2000 years of unbroken imperial lineage?

You mean Japan is now operating under a Democracy?

You must be wrong, it couldn't happen...2,000 years PROVE that.

Maybe Japan is some sort of exception to the rule..you know, just because Asians are so smart. Those stupid Arabs, though, will NEVER be able to handle Democracy (I would have preferred a Representative Republic). (end sarcasm)
