Those images have been circulating for a while now. I also suspect that they are not the produce of insurgents in Iraq, but instead of someone trying to pretend to be. I got some pretty evidence to back it up, too. Especially since some of those images aren't even from Iraq...

Someone could just as easily label your presentation as uncredible in similar fashion to the above response. Consequently, you might have evidence but that's far from being the total determining factor in this case. Point is, propaganda is always subjective. Now I'm not saying you are wrong, but even if you're right- that some of those images aren't from Iraq, you cloaked your subjectivity by using "suspicion" to sell your comfort level on Iraq's situation. Basically, it means that even if those images are truly from Iraq you would have responded with the exact same standpoint. Propaganda is always biased; evidence can be classified as pretension regardless of the filtered sources and their reputations.

Notice how I used quotations around your act of suspecting. That's a form of propaganda. I basically tampered with the potential credibility of your suspicions by using a doubt mechanism. It's no different to your previous post. Is your country winning the war on "terrorism"? You can give all the evidence you want to back up your answer[s] but as soon as some people decide to impose their "indoctrinations", it no longer becomes a case of "true" or "false". It becomes a matter of which viewpoint has more supporters.

With that being said, I most definitely will not close the door on the potential truth that the Iraq war death toll is seriously inaccurate as of now. Too high a comfort level shows insensitivity to the real hardships of the soldiers and civilians who endure this war firsthand.

A little off topic for a moment. I find it very interesting the different viewpoints of people depending on there geographic location.
Ok back to the topic at hand. I find it very hard to determine the real truth about most things nowadays. The Bush administration has four more years and there is not much anyone can do about it. People who don't like whats going on just have to ride it out. Thats the beauty of term limits.
