HYDRO BILL Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 good I made you angry! YAY! I wan`t saying that Canadian media is better (it is-CBC Newsworld) And I`m not about to "Kick the knowledge" But if you watch different media it is amazing to see how much the perspective changes from say BBC world news to CNN. FOR EXAMPLE: the recent polls saying that the majoity of Americans would like to see America stay the course in Iraq was spun as being people supporting Bush (CNN-Wolf Blitzkrieg) . I personally think that everyone can agree that bombing the shit out of a place and leaving it in the middle of civil war then bouncing is a pretty deplorable idea, but it doesn`t mean that they support Dubya. All I was saying is that the media`s role is to put it all on the table like they did with Hussein`s sons or Saddam`s beard. Unfortunately there are far too mant corporate interests to do that. Now go trim that Bush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYDRO BILL Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 yes, we all know in a war people die, but if you don't have friends/family members over there, it's real easy to become detached and forget. exposing the truth is not 'exploiting' anything.

HYDRO BILL Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Just so I don`t seem too one-sided, I was impressed with both Wolf Blitzer and Tim Russert (meet the press) grilling Bandar Bin Sultan about his connections to the Bush Fam shadyness. Homeboy was squirming. Now get angry!:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!@#$% Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Originally posted by BROWNer actually i was prodded awhile ago, and tried, but the thread flopped away becuz nobody else had much to add, coupled with the complexity and mass of the problem. i'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on an exit strategy though... yep. Smart, i had added to the ideas a bit.. we all recognize the need for a true coalition.. best in the form of the UN, probably acceptable as NATO without a doubt, the u.s. kickback/corruption schemes with rebuilding have got to end there needs to be a temporary government elected/selected by iraqis, who represent the citizens of that country, not just expats that the u.s. thinks it can control.. goodbye bremer. but none of this shit is going to happen anyway, how can one argue the hypotheticals of an exit strategy when it is so obviously a futile excercise? at least with the opinion/editorial discussions, we may be convincing or educating those who are on the fence or uninformed. yeah but back to the main topic.. show the atrocities.. where are the photos of dead iraqi children? i saw so much of that in foreign press last year i was quickly convinced that the war was far too costly. Smart ...and p.s...it's !@#$% now.. ;) low profile, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villain Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 It does seem futile but I can't seem to resign myself to do nothing. I'm just hoping the better nature of mankind will win out. I think it may be time for another cultural revolution. Except this time instead of domestic issues it would be more focused on international issues. The trend has already begun. It's just a matter of reinforcing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
