"When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, the fact that CNN was basically an American company helped to frame the issue, worldwide, as aggression (analogous to Hitler's actions in the 1930s) rather than as a justified attempt to reverse colonial humiliation (analogous to India's capture of Goa)." - Power and Interdependence in the Information Age, Robert O. Keohane and Joseph S. Nye, Jr.

Wth?!

I suppose North Korea's invasion of South Korea was also a justified attempt to reverse colonial humiliation.

This is basically a case of "West bad, everyone else good".
