Re: Money
If there were no media to report these events, there would be no insurgency, for they would have no way to get their message out.
You're lumping the various Iraqi factions into one group. Sure there are terrorists who want to "get their message out" to the west, but there are also the religious and ethnic sects who want to slaughter eachother on the way to their own states. Elminating the media does nothing to those guys.

Just a monkey in a long line of kings.
If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist!
