Selective Memory

-
Remember back before the U.S. invaded Iraq...? Back when the Middle East was a peaceful region- enjoying equal rights for all and perfect harmony for all mankind?

What...? You don't remember it that way?? But... kofi annan and the Iranians said it was that way, and that we messed it all up.

Here's a great piece in the American Spectator that takes us on a walk down memory lane:

[[ When I heard that UN Secretary General Kofi Annan complained that the United States had messed things up in the Middle East, specifically echoing Middle Eastern leaders who told him that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was a "real disaster" for the region, I got to wondering. What was the Middle East like before the U.S. messed things up by invading Iraq? Was it like the mythical Garden of Eden that North America was before the White Man came and messed it up? Jogging my long-term memory, I don't think that is quite the case. ]]

It's good... go and read it all, please.
