lunatic BS again:

We also should be aware that the struggle is too important — the consequences too severe — to allow a "blame America first" mentality to overwhelm the truth that our nation, though imperfect, is a force for good in the world.

Consider that a database search of the nation's leading newspapers turns up 10 times as many mentions of one of the soldiers punished for misconduct at Abu Ghraib than of Sgt. 1st Class Paul Ray Smith, the first recipient of the Medal of Honor in the global war on terror.

2. Does he realize the same thing would have been

truer in 1970. There were far more mentions of Lt Calley than of any medal of honor winner. My Lai was far bigger news. There are also more mentions of Andrea Yates than there were of any mother of 5 kids who was honored by her community as an excellent mother.

But when you're looking for propaganda, that pesky 'news' stuff just tends to get in the way.
