What's the problem with Pravda?

Dunno that there's a problem with it, per se. If it's the Pravda I'm thinking of, it's the old Soviet propoganda rag. Every issue could be boiled down to: "Standing in line for toilet paper and potatoes is normal, the Kremlin is looking out for your best interests at all times. Shut up and build me another warhead."

Here is a similar story from the Associated Press.

Quote:
A year ago, President Bush said Quote:
BTW, I agree that in Korea, noone questioned civilian deaths, at least not until it was 50 years too late. When we went into Iraq, the administration had a vision of a just war, quick victory, and overwhelmingly grateful and complacent populace. In the aftermath, we perhaps find the reason why presidents who have actually experienced war are less likely to declare it. In June 2003 , we can compare Bush's confidence with today's reality.

It is a bit too tabloid, though.

The autopsy for dead prisioners in Afghanistan listed murder as the reason for their death. Details clearly pointed to torture. And that is where the investigation ended. No investigation of soldiers responsible for those deaths were conducted. There is no doubt the US has now condoned and is openly torturing prisoners. The unanswered question is WHO is doing it.

Don't you have a better chance of communicating when you use their native language? Something they understand.
