while i confess to fidning something surreal enough to vaguely amuse in the attempts to rope michael moore into this thread, the premise of it is pretty obvious. yes, rumsfeld went to iraq for pr purposes. yes it was pr directed both at the people whose misfortune it is to be in harms way on account of this absurd, illegal debacle and at the audience "at home," particularly those naive enough to not see any pr motives in this photo op...which probably coincides with an audience which gets most of its information from tv....which in turn concides with almost the entire population that supports this war....this particular pr stunt is relatively benign. you would expect any administration that launched an illegal and unnecessary "pre-emptive" colonial war to do the same.
