baudrillard was very pro reality and anti-bulshit, tea, i think you would like him. read on seduction!
yes, the title is a bit enfuriating considering people were raped, tortured, killed, exposed to chemicals and the desert laid to waste. it was clearly a war, albeit a heavily mediated and sanitised one from the point of view of the west, hence the title. but that's baudrillard's style. i think it's important to remember he is a product of french disenchantment with reality in the 60s and 70s, not a part of but definitely in the context of the contestation réac and the exposure of the farce that was real socialism. leftists became less obnoxious, less anti-american, a lot of cioran was read, more fun was had and more excess embraced (but never fascism the way scum like christopher hitchens do today, though i see glucksmann has gone to the dogs!).
