Mitos sobre la Guerra de Irak

Sigo insistiendo con lo mismo. Seguir hablando de este tema es como arar en el mar. Para la gran mayoría de la progresía los hechos jamás pueden tener precedencia sobre la ideología, sobre una idea preconcebida de la realidad, ni en relación a Irak ni en otros casos. De todos modos, me parece interesante, sobre todo para tanta gente que sigue repitiendo estas cosas:

Iraqis can participate in three historic elections, pass the most liberal constitution in the Arab world, and form a unity government despite terrorist attacks and provocations. Yet for some critics of the president, these are minor matters. Like swallows to Capistrano, they keep returning to the same allegations--the president misled the country in order to justify the Iraq war; his administration pressured intelligence agencies to bias their judgments; Saddam Hussein turned out to be no threat since he didn't possess weapons of mass destruction; and helping democracy take root in the Middle East was a postwar rationalization. The problem with these charges is that they are false and can be shown to be so--and yet people continue to believe, and spread, them. Let me examine each in turn.
