85% of the population will believe anything that gets thrown at them by the media. People are too lazy to go out and research the background of a conflict like this one.

And THAT is what's so fucking scary!
Here we have <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk" target="_new">The Sun</a> which is good for gossip, but apart from that is a complete pile of shite.
Plus -- it's owned by Murdoch, rabidly pro-US. So is often out of sync with most of public opinion (especially about attacking Iraq), but has such a high readership that it really has sway with the 'general public'.
Perhaps the equivalent would be <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk" target="_new">The Guardian</a> owning USA Today.
