Reflecting on the start of the Iraq War 20 years later. I cannot overstate how appallingly one-sided the news coverage was in the US during the buildup to the invasion.
@jensorensen That was one of the reasons I left the USA for Canada in 2004 - my wife and I just couldn’t believe the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld regime was so obviously corrupt & evil - but we were utterly appalled that so many seemingly intelligent and well-informed Americans went along with it.
@lenlayton I'm curious how that experience has been for you. Few regrets, I imagine.
@jensorensen It’s been brilliant- Vancouver is a great city to raise a family - expensive- but highest quality of life anywhere on earth. Just one small example: my daughter speaks fluent French from attending a public elementary school.
