Intersting article on CNN about two supposed man on the street interviews that have almost exactly the same response.
Here is the first one:
"'The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the ISF and all of Iraq. They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists,' said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified."
Who talks like that?
And the second:
"'The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the children and all of Iraq,' said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified. 'They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists.'"
Come on. Why do we have to propagandize this war? Isn't this a true and pure fight, a la World War II? I keep hearing from the right that this is like Japan. It's nothing like Japan. There was no sustained insurgency in Japan. Nor was there on in Germany. Face it. It's Vietnam all over again.
