Reply #6: There’s a lot of truth in what you say

[Time for change]

The Iraqi girl who wrote that post is probably unaware of the extent to which Americans are shielded by our corporate media against what is really going on in Iraq.

But on the other hand, Abu Ghraib got a fair amount of coverage. And any American who has kept up with the news as much as a lot of DUers have must have a pretty good idea.

And you're right that Americans are taught to not particularly care about the fate of non-Americans. That is a terrible shame, and if it doesn't change before too long, we're going to end up like Hitler's Germany. Or the Roman empire. Either way it would be very ugly.
