The Bush administration's over-inflated response to recent airline "threats" merely creates a climate of paranoia and disrupts the economy -- just what the terrorists ordered.
As post-war Iraq remains a mess, the Bush administration is busy trying to "convince" Iraqis with images and stunts that the war was good and their liberation is imminent.
Liberal hawks who claim the war will deliver democracy to the Iraqi people display a wilful ignorance of the big power interests that are currently carving up and destabilising Iraq right now.
