I miss those days.
Just 10 minutes ago I was reading a blog--
http://powerofnarrative.blogspot.com/2006/06/dispatches-from-asylum-all-propaganda.html
and was quite 'educated' about this Zarqawi guy. According to the blog,
basically we killed a straw man--he really wasn't much of anything.
And then I went and read this one about Churchill--
http://powerofnarrative.blogspot.com/2006/04/shattering-churchill-myth-facing-facts.html
A bit of an eye opener.
Now these are opinion pieces, but they made me think anyway. And, though there
was much pain involved, that can only be a good thing.
