No wonder America has so many enemies
Posted: Sunday, September 28, 2003
Chasing a Mirage
The U.S. was sure Saddam had WMD, but Iraqi scientists say the weapons were destroyed long before the war
Why the Media Don't Call It as They See It
True or false: Saddam Hussein helped plan the Sept.11 attacks.
As those who read or heard President Bush's recent statement on the issue are aware, that assertion is false. Then why have so many Americans -- 69 percent, according to a Washington Post survey last month -- been telling public opinion pollsters they believe it is likely that Saddam was involved?
Operation Oprah
Wondering how the president plans to spend the $87 billion he asked for to rebuild Iraq? You could have tuned in to David Letterman last week to hear Colin Powell try to ease the country's sticker shock.

Iraqi reconstruction for 'Dummies'
Ever picked up a 'Dummies guide'? They're a big rage in the US; one can find a Dummies guide for pretty much anything under the sun. I remember in college picking up a Dummies guide for the opera and classical music, just to hone my pseudo-literati skills to make more vague, the inane conversation one tends to have at social events.
Addressing causes of terrorism
No wonder America has so many enemies
President George W. Bush and aides lied the United States into a stupid, unnecessary colonial war that has so far killed more than 305 Americans and seriously wounded more than 1,400. It has also cost many thousands of Iraqi dead, and $1 billion US weekly.
