A Shame Offensive

Lying Media Bastards explores the tactical shift of the pro-warriors. The Iraq conflict is being sold more and more on the premise that we need to liberate the Iraqi people from their Hitleresque leader, not necessarily because that leader fails to comply with the UN or disarm quickly.

According to this logic, if you were one of the millions who made it out to a protest over the weekend you might have "thought that you were against the war because you didn't want bombs dropping on the heads of Iraqi children, or because you opposed U.S. imperialism, but you were wrong. You oppose the war because you like it when people are crushed 'neath the iron fist."

Update: The shame offensive is now starting to derail, according to LMB.
