Yes They Did Lie to Us

Now try to work this one out. Before the war on Iraq, Britain witnessed a ferocious debate over whether the case for conflict was legal and honest. It culminated in the largest demonstration in the country's history, as a million or more took to the streets to stop the war. At the same time, the US sleepwalked into battle. Its press subjected George Bush to a fraction of the scrutiny endured by Tony Blair: the president's claims about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction and links to al-Qaida were barely challenged. While Blair had to cajole and persuade his MPs to back him, Bush counted on the easy loyalty of his fellow Republicans - and of most leading Democrats.

1. There were demonstrations here

I know. I was spat upon and cursed. Luckily, the local sheriff kept the nutcases in control, or we demonstrators would have been assaulted as well.

There were plenty of Americans against the war-plenty who are still against the war. But the media is owned by those who wish it to appear otherwise.
