    Confused and more dangerous than it already is.

    I disagree with Westmoreland. I think Rather, Cronkite, and the others controlling mainstream media probably censored any attempts to show a positive view. Visual images I remember them showing were bombs exiting B-52’s, crippled soldiers, body bags, and screaming, naked children.
