Clearly most of it is nonsense, the Emir just had to be homosexual for example, but is it justifiable to mislead the Iraqi people for the sake of the 'greater good'? It could be argued that mass deception wasn't what they voted for.... (and i'll leave the drawing of any parallels to you good folks  )[ 03-19-2005, 06:33 PM: Message edited by: shamrock_uk ] |

All governments behave in essestially the same way, regardless of the political leanings of those in power: control and mislead. This has been true since governments were invented.

I use beer to flavor my tofu and veggie kebabs, so yeah, it probably would be better with a little desert propoganda.
