Admitting our failings while blaming America
Nonetheless, Friedman, we are not blaming the U.S. because it seeks its interests in one way or another. We, Arabs, should blame ourselves in the first place by leaving that tyrant of Baghdad to offer the U.S. one opportunity after another to achieve its own agenda at our expense.

Robert Fisk: I sat on Saddam's throne...
Opposite the President's chair was a different work of Baathist art. The torchlight that illuminated the canvas produced a gasp of astonishment and horrible clarity. It depicted huge missiles, flames burning at their tails, soaring towards a cloud-fringed, sinister heaven, each rocket wreathed in an Iraqi flag and the words "God is Great".

Use Reality to Destroy Virtual Reality
The antidote for virtual reality is reality. Destroying virtual reality is essential. Unless the people are liberated from the mind numbing manipulations of experience imposed upon them by the corporatists, the state will continue to pull their strings. Rebel tactics should focus on forcing reality into the lives of the people.
