Even if
this alleged massacre in Iraq is confirmed, even if it is shown to be totally premeditated and unjustified, it will likely remain a subsurface affair, though news hacks try to spin it. Why? Because we still remember, after over thirty years, how the hacks sold atrocities in Vietnam. Massacres should anger us, but we must remember there's always a low-level hope here, the hope that such stories can get us packing from Iraq. That we can guess its outcome does not seem to deter news hacks into wanting it. But even those opposed to the war must sense it. And they can recall Vietnam too.
