Media and Blood

The invasion of Iraq -- a major and catastrophic international event -- came about to a great extent because there was virtually no discussion here in the press or among the electorate about the legality of such an event. You know, in our book we mention an Iraqi man who is holding his dead child in his arms, killed apparently by an American bomb, who is screaming at an American reporter, "How could the American people allow its government to do this to my child?" That's a good question, because we did permit our government to do that.
