There are two sides to every conflict - unless you rely on the US media for
information about the battle in Lebanon. Viewers have been fed a diet of
partisan coverage which treats Israel as the good guys and their Hizbollah enemy
as the incarnation of evil. Andrew Gumbel reports from Los Angeles

I don’t know what news they are checking but it is not what is shown over here.

The media, more generally, has left little doubt in the minds of a majority of
American news consumers that the Israelis are the good guys, the aggrieved
victims, while Hizbollah is an incarnation of the same evil responsible for
bringing down the World Trade Centre, a heartless and faceless organisation
whose destruction is so important it can justify all the damage Israel is
inflicting on Lebanon and its civilians.

The Facts show that it is the moolsims of Hizbollah that started this and conflict and yes it does matter who started it!

The point is not that this viewpoint is necessarily wrong. The point - and
this is what distinguishes the US from every other Western country in its
attitude to the conflict - is that it is presented as a foregone conclusion. Not
only is there next to no debate, but debate itself is considered unnecessary and
suspect.

There is a lot of debate, we are debating how al-ruters has turned stupid and tried to manipulate what we think.

I didn’t hear any of this from the hear press in the US. did you?

The U.S. military handed over to Iraqi forces on Monday security responsibilities for Mahmudiyah, one of the contentious areas south of Baghdad

The move is the latest in a series of handovers between American and Iraqi troops. The U.S. exit strategy from the country hinges on local forces being able to operate on their own.

Wait, you mean there are more than one of these hand overs going on in Iraq? I thought we were losing this war?

UK Radical mooslums want to be treated as special needs

Muslim leaders summoned to talks with the Government on tackling extremism in their midst called for public holidays to mark their religious festivals.

OK, I can understanding religious people wanting their holidays to match their religion.

But, in what she admitted were ’sharp’ exchanges, some senior Muslim figures turned the tables yesterday and made a series of demands which also included the introduction of Sharia law for family matters.

Yep, the Middle East is trying to export the religion of death. and the UK for some reason is doing the importing. They think that there are moderate mooslums in this world…

Some of the 30 moderate Muslim leaders at the meeting told Miss Kelly that important days in their two main religious festivals - Ramadan and Eid-ul-Adha - should be made public holidays for followers of the faith.

Sharia law, which is practised in large parts of the Middle East, should also be introduced in Britain, they argued. While it specifies stonings and amputations as routine punishments for crimes, Dr Pasha said he wanted it only for family affairs.

 

I tried to believe the mooslums were not all trying to kill me, (Just a few) but I now think that they all want us all dead.
