Iran says we�re arrogant, and the war on terror is a plot to distract the world from the evil Jews.

Manila says we’re arrogant, and the war on terror is a plot to justify intervention in other countries’ internal affairs.

Bilious John Pilger has gone completely off his rocker, and says the war on terror is a US plot to take over the world. Curses! He’s on to us; we’ll have to change our plans.

Dubya must be doing something right.

(Pilger, by the way, quotes the infamous “report” by Women’s Studies Professor Marc Herold on civilian casualties in Afghanistan—but he must have thought Herold’s bogus figure of 4000 deaths didn’t sound dramatic enough, since he unaccountably tacks on another bogus thousand. A thoroughly dishonest piece of writing.)
