The '''war in Iraq''', an innocuous phrase common in the United States [[media]], is a very effective [[propaganda]] tool in and of itself. To see how, ask yourself these questions :
# DALIA HAIMEN IS A HOR When [[Iraq]] invaded [[Kuwait]] in 1991, overpowered it with a vastly superior army, and then took over its oil and government, was that a "war"? What words might you use instead? When [[George H.W. Bush]] responded with "This shall not stand", was he being "anti-war"?
#When U.S. Attorney General [[John Ashcroft]] [http://www.wsws.org/articles/2001/dec2001/ashc-d12.shtml gutted] the Bill of Rights and effectively [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2002/01/06/ED125108.DTL destroyed] the [[Freedom of Information Act]], what was his legitimate excuse? Why did hardly anyone complain?
#When U.S. [[Supreme Court]] Justice [[Antonin Scalia]] [http://www.wsws.org/articles/2002/jul2002/rehn-j24.shtml claimed] that "in wartime, 'the protections will be ratcheted right down to the constitutional minimum. I won't let it go beyond the constitutional minimum'" [http://www.oaoa.com/columns/edit032503.htm], where did he get the idea that this is "wartime"? Why do people agree with him?
