Heh heh, I see what you mean. That was a big ol' can of worms! ;^)

If you want specifics, I've got doosy for you-- In October of 1990, NBC aired a
"special" on Nostrodamis's predictions of world tyrants (by the way, all that
Nostradamis stuff is pure crap). At that time, America and Iraq were at odds
over the oil in Kuwait. So, guess who hosted the NBC special? Charlton Heston,
"Moses" himself and big time NRA guy. Guess who Nostradamis "predicted" to be a
great world tyrant (supposedly with Napoleon and Hitler)? Saddam Hussein.
Granted, Hussein is a scumbag dictator but what a convenient way to stir up
anti-Iraqi hatred. That's propaganda.
Yeah, dude, I shouldn't generalize but sometimes I get ticked off at all the
lies Americans are continuously fed, which seem more prominent than small doses
of truth we get.
