Margolis receives huge email response re his anti war column blaming Bush

[glarius]

for taking America wrongly into the Iraq war...This is a heart-warming article from Eric Margolis, an American who lives in Toronto and writes for the Toronto Sun. I first posted one of his anti-war articles about a year ago...Many of you have seen these articles by him which others have posted also....He is an expert on the mid-east and though he is a conservative and a Republican, is fearless in his expression of disgust for the current government in Washington.

"I've received a huge e-mail response from around the globe in reply to my last Sunday Sun column. In it, I contended that George Bush's fabricated war against Iraq was a far worse crime than Watergate, and said the president and his men were either liars or unbelievably inept.""

"Most messages, about seven in every 10 by my estimate, came from Americans."

1. Thanks glarius

Between the two of us, I think we have posted just about everything Margolis has written about the war.

BTW, I guess Margolis does not watch "The Daily Show" since he missed the fact that John Stewart uses Mess-Opotamia as his logo when he "reports" on Iraq.

More and more Americans believe they were lied to, misled and/or defrauded by the Bush administration over Iraq - which one witty reader calls "Mess-Opotamia."

2. He is getting a huge response from Americans....they are hungry for

the truth to be told and it's a shame they don't have someone in their own country who is doing it as fearlessly as Eric!...:)

3. Well, with the possible exception of Paul Krugman,

I think you are correct.

4. I like this part

During the Iraq war, the Internet became a sort of "Radio Free America" that gave the lie to all the White House's war propaganda promoted by the mainstream media.

I think he is talking about us (along with many others of course).

5. Hurray for the Internet!
