"I can't believe that!" said Alice.

"Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast..."

What the Hell is THIS? If this has something to do with Iraq, feel free to enlighten. Otherwise, when I figure out which forum to move it to, there it goes.

"But though there is no difference in this respect between the best demagogue and the worst, both of them having to present their cases equally in terms of melodrama, there is all the difference in the world between the statesman who is humbugging the people into allowing him to do the will of God, in whatever disguise it may come to him, and one who is humbugging them into furthering his personal ambition and the commercial interests of the plutocrats who own the newspapers and support him on reciprocal terms."

The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.

"Who are YOU?" said the Caterpillar.

This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation.

YUP!

The USA fell through the looking glass quite some time ago.

I presume that is the agenda of this thread.

Blair learned from this: he could not only believe but make up twenty impossible things before talking to the press daily, but he was something special. I don't think Bush believed that the sort-of-Stalinist regime in Iran was really supporting fundamentalists (no - not in the US - in Abroad) or that he had weapons of mass destruction like a pure jackbooted Israeli holyman, but, then, he is such a lousy actor that nobody would have believed him even if he said he was a half-educated half-wit. You have to be pretty good to act sincerity.
