Are you old enough to have been alive when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait over their theft of Iraqi oil? The American public was split on the issue of attacking Iraq. So President Bush (Sr.) hired a PR firm (I think it was Hill Knowlton) to make up a story about Iraqi soldiers throwing babies in their incubators out of hospital windows. The "eye witness" was the teenage daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador who lived in D.C. (and was not honestly identified). Americans do not acknowledge their racism against Middle Easterners. They would be far more skeptical if the same thing was said about American soldiers. Bottom line, I tell people if they cannot imagine themselves doing the same thing that is being attributed to a group they don't know much about, it's probably a lie. Even Amnesty International bought the incubator story. I haven't given them a penny since.
