Why Listening to the Radio Raises My Blood Pressure
Yesterday's All Things Considered had a segment about how France and Germany were cool to the new US proposal for getting more UN help for Iraq. The reporter said:
France fueled opposition within the Security Council to any military action. The result was that the US and a few allies were forced to go to war without the UN, raising questions about the legitimacy of the postwar reconstruction.
Forced? We were forced to go to war almost alone? Who forced us to go to war? Remember that the only reason we went to war at that time was because Bush was unwilling to wait even one more day -- he said the world (and the US) were under an imminent threat by Saddam and the only choice was to go to war immediately. France and Germany said they wouldn't back this until they saw some proof, but Bush didn't have any proof. (And still doesn't have any proof, so who was right?) So who the heck forced us to go to war?
Is it too much to ask that the media not be part of the revisionists?

Hey did anyone see Zinni's speech on TV? No, why not? Kobe Bryant and Laci Peterson aren't even topics this week...oh yeah, it's the pizza bomb guy this week.
