Anti-war protesters were right. Iraq invasion has led to chaos.

55. "The commentators who cheered on the conflict...are still feted"

It's up to us to ensure that there are consequences for cheerleading the warmongers, because we have all the evidence we need that they will continue to spread neocon lies if we don't.

Last week, I saw a Fred Hiatt opinion column in Business Insider titled, "Obama has done the unthinkable with his Syria policy". The post was a typical Hiatt neocon screed citing Obama's reluctance to commit our military to another war as the cause of instability in Syria (nothing was mentioned about the USA's actual role in causing that destabilization). It was posted as if it were a straight news piece, not a reprinted editorial.

I immediately emailed Henry Blodget, the publisher of Business Insider, pointing out Hiatt's odious history of warmongering and support for the worst foreign policy disasters in recent history. And sent him links to two factual and much more incisive analyses of the Syrian debacle.

No, Blodget did not reprint either of the analyses I recommended. But I did notice that the original Hiatt post was moved way down toward the bottom of the posts for the day. I suspect I wasn't the only one who complained.
