CHANNELLING MARK TWAIN: Norman Solomon of FAIR assumes the persona of the great American novelist in this silly little piece from FAIR. He chides the U.S. for supplying aid to Angola and making it one of the most heavily landmined countries on Earth, but a simple Internet search found that most of the mines in that country come from the former Soviet bloc. He also fails to mention that Cuba once had 50,000 troops in Angola. (Didn't Lenin say "facts are stubborn things"?) Additionally, he trots out the dubious assertion that U.S. bombing in Afghanistan has killed thousands, an assertion easily parried by Mark Steyn.
