Who do you believe - me or your lying eyes?

There are two sides to every story. When government leaders and the media speak in perfect harmony in favor of one side of a controversial issue, it may be time to look hard at the "wrong" side. And when they start heaping accusations or ridicule upon those who question the official line - calling them unpatriotic, un-American, or simply dismissing them as nutty conspiracy theorists - it's definitely time.

"Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists," said George Bush to the nations of the world, in a threat that was also not lost on his fellow citizens. With statements like this, the Bush administration intimidated Americans into docile silence, giving the administration the time to make the invasion of Iraq inevitable. When the administration was finally forced to admit there were no WMDs, it was too late.

Don't be intimidated. Look at both sides of controversial issues. You decide.
