You have to remeber, our biased media has been very complicit in perpetuating the "bad Serbs" myth that followed in tow to the Democratic "hootin' and hollerin'" over human rights. Clinton proved that Goebbels was a small time propogandist compared to the exPOTUS42's tenacious evil. His manipulation of the media and the public is absoluely stunning, what is more stunning is how many individuals buy into the nonsense.

Another valid point, FireWall. With respest to Iraq, the media appears to have the same strange sympathy for Saddam's Iraq as Castro's Cuba. Sure he's a tyrant, they seem to say, but he's done great things for the Iraqi people and they love him. More to the point, he is a leader of the Third World anti-american movement. He has things to say that must be heard!

If the U.S. only saw things from his perspective, it would see things differently. Cue the film provided by Iraqi television of the Great Man thoughtfully leading a meeting or nodding his avuncular head as a group of school children sing a patriotic song to the Fearless Leader. Yada, yada, yada.

Slobo's problem arose when the media decided he wasn't a really a communist, and therefore sort of one of their own, but rather a fascist. After that he was toast and no amount of punishment would suffice.

So long as Saddam portrays himself as a Third World socialist revolutionary, he will always maintain a modicum of support in the Western media and the Democrat party here in the U.S.

The leftist media is nothing if not easy to read.
