    I think you actually make a good point. I think we need to remember that for Bush's war on Iraq requires that he keep telling us that "they are nuts and we're in the right, no matter what". Providing media coverage of this type of extreamism and ignoring the moderate point of view plays right into his agenda.

    Cabaiguan Juan: I think you're correct as well. I'm sure that most muslims are not so angry that they are insulted by a cube. But once again, it benefits the current administrations policies to portray all muslims as fanatics.

    But I'll stop there or else this will turn into a political thread, and I've had enough of those to last me for a while.

    DLP & Monk,
    I've just decided to stop following the news b/c its full of biased negitive unconstructive shit, but I do need to tell myself to take the news with a grain of salt more often.
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown
