About a year ago I was asked what had been the most amazing thing I saw in the United States. My answer was "How Bush was re-elected".
But now I have to update my answer to "How the U.S. got into the war" after watching Bill Moyers' PBS show named "Buying the war".
For me any war is tragic. But in this war there is something more so, "...when our press largely surrendered its independence and skepticism to join with our government in marching to war..." to use Moyers' words.
It's long but definitely worths watching. An excerpt is available on YouTube here.
The bottom-line: HOW DO WE SORT OUT FACT FROM PROPAGANDA???
