London Bombers were British

This is a nice cheap piece probably designed to take the heat off Karl, or the war, or the national debt, Guantanamo...all the things they don't want you to pay attention to.

Exactly. Poll people on the street and I'd be willing to bet more people know who Fonda is than Karl Rove. Tossing her out there was done for the sole reason of taking the heat off of everything else, however momentarily, for the Republican thugs who watch Faux News, as if she was still out there posing with anti-aircraft weaponery. Silly twats. The digs at the BBC were in such poor taste that I can't find the right words to express it.

I often wonder if the only reason Faux prints or broadcasts some factual stuff is becuase if they didn't, then couldn't they theoretically lose their FCC licenses for not acting in the public good? I'm serious.

They're either really dumb or actually evil themselves. I found that piece upsetting, though I know I was warned, I had to read anyway. It is true that most Americans are behind the war on terror but most are NOT behind the war in Iraq because the two are unrelated despite claims to the contrary. Are they so dumb they cannot make these distinctions?

Whenever I try to understand the O'Reilleys of America I just get frustrated and upset. I think it is healthier for me to just say they're wrong and that's it. Trying to understand them is futile because they're just wrong. I feel like one day people will wake up and say, "You were right all along." I hope they do. Eventually the truth will come out, I do believe that, I just wish it would be sooner rather than later.

I'm very scared for this country and our future. This type of corruption is like termites and could bring it all down. I do not understand why people don't see that.

What I don't understand is exactly what is the war on "terra"? What are we doing about it? Where is Osama? Osama worked for the CIA at one point. Are we the war on "terra"? There are so many blurred lines here. While I think the American public is begining to tire of Iraq, I think some of them are confused that it is the war on "terra". I believe that is exactly what the administration wants.
Now Britain is no stranger to terrorism, with it's troubles with the IRA. But this situation is far worse, IMO. It is only exaggerated by the US Middle East policy and Britain's involvement in the Iraq war.
Oh what a tangled web we weave.
