Is the killing of the Italian agent Iraq's My Lai?

While it's obviously not on the same scale as that was, might this be the incident that finally gets people to wake up and realize that all of this is going to continue as long as we're there?

1. Dude, That Is..

soooo 3/5/2005 to 3/7/2005. You must not have heard that Jacko was an hour late for court and wearing PJ's. In other words, that story is DEAD.

2. And does Martha Stewart...

...Have her cappuccino machine fixed, yet?

Those are the important issues to America - riiiight....

6. I Dunno,...

there must be a live web-cam somewhere. On a more serious side, I don't know why the media pushes this crap other then thats what they are told to do. All of the info I have seen says people don't really give a shit about Jacko or Blake. I haven't seen anything on Martha but I would imagine it's the same.

3. Alas, no. My Lai didn't end the war. The Vietnamese did.

Which will probably be what eventually happens in Iraq. When enough body bags come home, and JoeSixpack starts to realize the hundreds of billions of dollars spent there for nothing, comes out of his pocket and he can't afford his new car, the war will end.

4. of course, they'll blame the librul media and the wicked civilians:

where would we be without a Dolchstoss myth keeping us alive?

5. No. The 100,000 dead Iraqi civilians are Iraq's Mai Lai

the Italian agent is a footnote in that particular book of sorrow.

7. No

Falluja was Iraq's My Lai.

and unlike My Lai - this one's still under wraps...

8. While Sgrena did do a lot of reporting on Falluja....

...it seems like this incident will be more likely to dry up the reporting over there even further.

So if anything - people may become even more oblivious - if that is possible.
