Nazi propaganda

"The image you see here might lead you to believe that the child in the picture has been made "glad" and secure thanks to the U.S. troop presence in Iraq. As "El Gringo" discovered, however, Lindy Eddy doctored the photograph. The original photo, taken by a journalist, depicted a young girl who had just received bullet wounds during a firefight in which her mother was killed and her father was wounded. Eddy doctored the photo by erasing the little girl's own face (which carries the listless expression you would expect from an injured child) and replacing it with someone else's face to make her look positively radiant and adoring."

A perfect analogy for the Bush Government's telling of the Iraq 'success story'.

Plenty of war supporters out there believe this stuff, or at least say they do. The reason for which I can only imagine is a desire to be on the side of 'good'. Or maybe they're just plain ol' f*cked in the head i.e. cognitive dissonance.
