Criticize Iran, Not Fox News

I just searched YouTube for videos about Iran. I typed in “iran atrocities.” Almost all of the videos were titled “USA Terrorist Crimes.” I had to scroll to the bottom to find a video from Iran showing the atrocities of the Mullahs ruling Iran. You can find it here:

If you type in “Iran” you get the first two videos just being tourist photos. The third is called “Fox Attacks: Iran” which is a montage of clips from Fox News Channel talking about possible war with Iran. The following is listed under the short description:

Open Letter: http://foxattacks.com/iran Sign the open letter to the major television networks urging them to NOT follow FOX's lead to another war. The video shows the evidence of how they are repeating the same distortions and fear mongering they did before the Iraq war.

Instead of attacking Fox News for their coverage of Iran, maybe it would be better to take my advice in my article "How to Avoid War" which I posted yesterday.

Bhutto Under Arrest in Pakistan

Publius Pundit has the coverage here. Benazir Bhutto, opposition leader in Pakistan, has been placed under arrest following Pres. Musharraf declaring marshal law.

Here is a quote from Bhutto:

The United States, Britain and much of the West have always said the right things about democracy in Pakistan and around the world. I recall the words of President Bush in his second inaugural address when he said: "All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you." It is dangerous to stand up to a military dictatorship, but more dangerous not to. The moment has come for the Western democracies to show us in their actions, and not just in their rhetoric, which side they are on.

It is time for the United States to stand up for democracy. We must keep our representatives accountable. Hopefully if/when Pres. Bush says something about this they won’t say he’s “saber rattling.”
