Dictatorships we (or you) love. There is nothing more disgraceful about US media than their quick adjustment to and conformity with US foreign policy, and with US foreign policy changes. Witness how the coverage of the Libyan dictatorship has changed overnight in US media because Libyan terrorist leader Mu`ammar Qadhdhafi opened up "his" country to US rule, in return for US support for his violations of human rights. This is not the first time. Remember how anti-Semitic, Nazi Egyptian activist Anwar Sadat has been lionized by the US for signing a peace treaty with Israel. His Nazism was forgiven. Read this puff (not tough) piece on Qadhdhafi's son. Look at this passage: "He had arrived at the hilltop home, built as a gift to his father by King Hassan II of Morocco, behind the wheel of a dark gray B.M.W. It is not a new car. It is expensive, because of its armored body and bulletproof glass, but still surprisingly modest for the man who many people whisper is being groomed as his father's political heir."
