I've been "unpatriotic" for over three years now; can't help it if it coincides with GWBush's term in office.

I was doing a search on "predict" and "timber". Found this thread to re-read. Some of the predictions didn't quite work out as "predicted".

Watching America is a nice site with (translated) foreign news about the USA which includes text, videos, and other media from Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas ...

As in all such damning 'exposes' of this type, an author can make big bucks by feeding those who want to believe what they write. Blum's theories have not been supported by the most liberal and anti-Reagan/Bush of the mainstream media, however.
That's because socialist does not equal liberal.

It is no secret that the U.S. did help arm Iraq as a hedge against a fanatical and increasingly militant and dangerous Iran. Iran and Iraq were at war at the time and Iraq was considered the less dangerous of the two. In hindsight, that was probably a really dumb thing to do.
Well, yeah, it would probably have been better if the US hadn't put a complete maniac in charge too.

But without the 'facts' listed in Blatham's post being substantiated by another more objective and credible source, I have to suspect most or all of the damning 'evidence' listed has been skewed to fit Blum's very dark and contentious view of Americans and the United States.
Is the University of Sussex, a good enough objective and credible source for you?
