A couple of posts down, I said that the Bush forces erected a Potemkin village in the stricken area. A reader pointed out that the analogy isn't quite correct: Prince Potemkin erected those villages to fool the head of state, not to fool the populace.
I suppose a better analogy would go toward that infamous propaganda film produced by Nazi Germany. If memory serves, the title was Hitler Gives the Jews a City.
