AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the book "The Deception of America," which highlights the severe treatment of Iraqi citizens under Saddam Hussein. Participants express skepticism about the book's perspective, suggesting it may be biased against the U.S. and Israel, while acknowledging that atrocities have occurred on both sides. Some argue that the portrayal of other nations with histories of brutality, such as North Korea and China, contrasts sharply with the focus on the U.S. and Israel. There is a debate about the necessity of viewing graphic content to understand these issues, with some asserting that awareness of such events is sufficient without needing to witness them firsthand. The conversation reflects a broader critique of media narratives surrounding the Iraq War and the complexities of international relations.

Have you seen this to know what opinion it expresses? As far as I know (and I haven't seen it), it just presents film of the brutal treatment of Iraqis under Hussein. If you think that's biased, I wonder what you think of the entire mainstream media, that won't seem to report anything on the war unless it's how terribly it's going.
 

Thread 'Status Update by JRMichler'

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin.
