This is what you don't hear about that war, and why you don't hear it. Out of sight, out of mind. It's also why they don't report ANYTHING when America engineers a coup, like in Venezuela.
If you don't think the mainstream US media is glamorizing even the war in Iraq, try watching real news reports on international stations for a while.  |
I already do so and I would hardly call the elections a joke. That country is way better off then they were a few years ago. Progress is progress, its not going to become a superpower over night or even ever, they have little to no natural resources. The drugs where there before and they will remain there, they need a source of income and unfortunality its the only one right now.
