[Peace-discuss] 4000 U.S. Deaths Should Spark Congressional Debate on Iraq

[Morton K. Brussel]

I especially would emphasize the statement in your article:

Surely the fact that just over a quarter of American adults could say  
about how many Americans had been killed in Iraq represents an  
indictment of our media and the actions of our political leaders.

  But I would suggest  that the media are complicit in the basic aims  
of the Bush administration: Control of the ME and West Asia and its  
resources---"our national interests", and that is a reason for their  
playing down about what's occurring in our occupation of Iraq and  
Afghanistan as well as probable plans for an attack on Iran.
