15. Good point made by Ron Reagan:
Pat Buchanan's comparison-- to our spreading "misinformation" for the benefit of the Nazis, during WWII--does not make sense. The Nazis were the enemy. "The Iraqis are not our enemies!" says Ron.

The subtext to all this is, of course, always left untouched:

1. Any Iraqi who seeks to foil our plan to control the natural (oil) resources of their country, Iraq, is our enemy. (That's where Bush is REALLY coming from.)

2. We are not there to "spread democracy" or to "foster a democratic government" in Iraq. We are there to create a power structure that can be controlled by us, and which we can then use to stop the chaos so we can get on with pumping the oil, so our profiteers can get on with making their profits.
