Nonsense, people need to counter the lapdog approach of the media when it comes to events of this magnitude. The US media simply lapped up the pre war war drums coming from the government and failed to apply any sense of accountablity for the way they were blatantly manipulating public sentiment.
The US public was largely in favour of the Iraq war because of deception and outright propaganda. If you notice in Europe sentiment was quite different. That is because European media generally displays far more responsibility for the words it is printing. That's not to say that there were no war drums, but the better publications echoed FAR more caution. You also don't have pro Israel bias all over the place which is another thing that irks me with the US.
But of course, you would like to escape the fact that you have propaganda for news and would instead like to blame 'revisionism'. Fair enough.
