Confused

I am a little confused here.

I read on the news that they found seven American POW's safe and sound, that it was the Iraqui military who presented them to the Coalition forces. So, they were not killed in cold blood like a lot of people thought, on top of that no one can find the weapons of mass destruction that the Baghdad regime was supposed to have and which it never used to defend Iraq or to attack Israel. The Iraqui army did not used civilians as human shields by dragging the war into the cities and POW Lynch was rescued from a hospital, not a jail nor a dungeon but a hospital and we know now that the toppling of Saddam's big statue was staged and that Iraqui citizens are leery of the US troops and are not welcoming them as liberating forces.

So, who lied to us?

The worst part is now to come when civil unrest tears the country appart like we've seen with the looting and the killing of opposition leaders among the Shiites, and Turkey insists in some sort of assurance that the Kurds will not seek independence which would fan the desire for independence of all the Kurds which would in turn bring conflict to neighboring Iran and Syria.

But the Kurds do not feel that they are Iraqui and they still remember how the international community betrayed them 10 years ago during the first Gulf War, so chances are, they will take this opportunity to carve their own state from Iraq which of course may incite the Shiites in Iran to do the same with southern Iraq, now, that is quite a mess.

And someone called the people in the peace ralliess a bunch of morons, well, looks like those morons know when they are being fed with lies. So, I leave you with an image of a bunch of spinless unpatriotic morons in Rome that marched yesterday protesting against the present war.
