Life, life is for living.

According to the LAT, one of the advertorials placed by the military was entitled "Iraqis Insist on Living Despite Terrorism."

That is what you call your low bar.
What were the competing stories?
"BREAKING: Suicide Limited to Suicide Bombers."
Maybe, "Death Just One of Many Options for Iraqis."
I know: "Here, Have a Plastic Turkey on Us."

Is it propaganda if it's as depressing as the news?
