I understand the matter has a lot of people riled. If we all step back and put on our rational hats... this will come out ok. Nobody needs to apologize for having an opinion or defending their point of view... however mutual respect is always a good thing.
I've tried to discount the media coverage I've seen so far as partisian and biased. I've always tried to keep an open mind. However, unfortunately for me, I can't bring myself to even remotely trust Al-Jazeera. The US "dog and pony show"s the troops helping people, Al Jazeera "dog and pony show"s the dead and the wounded, all without offering an alternative. It's also funny how every injured kid I've seen on there has been injured by the US... so the insurgent suicide bombers never hit their own? :huh:
Anyways, I really do wish the war would stop tomorrow and that the people of Iraq could go on with their lives. (cue Ms America theme) :P
Seriously, they're screwed over there. The UN needs to step in and take responsibility for the scene, even if they didn't start it. The world will have a much easier time with the fact the UN is calling the shots rather than the US. We don't need UN "vote observers", we need a UN command framework where EVERYONE reports to them and noone else.
Whether the US will take that lying down is another story. If they believe their own spin and press, they will.
