Sad day in London

[Elcoholic]

And that is where you are wrong.. So you are saying that you don't care if 1000 lives are saved in one day because aid workers and such give them food give them medical treatment that they might never of gotten otherwise? but its ok to plaster the bombings everwhere. Bad news sells.. Good news doesn't. that is what its about its not about the media showing the truth its about the media getting the ratings.. you are only making this worse and proving my point more about how media obscures what things are truely going on there.

And no offense. America is not there to solve the differences between the Iraqi people. That is something they have been given an opertunity to do. For them to work together to create something better then what they had. And this will only work if they do it. And the elections already proved the most of the Iraqi people are somewhat willing to go out and vote even if fear of getting killed.

I hate how America expects that they have to do every little piece. its like the old saying you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. All we can do now is make sure that we give the Iraqi people the opertunities that they need for there own Government.

Well, we have a very different point of view about what the news should be. You say they are obscurring the good things. If they would just show the good things the whole world would say that the 'news' is obscurring the truth which is people are dying there every day in a war started by the US.

I never said I don't care about 1000 lives saved by aid workers. Its just that I wouldn't expect anything else. Its no news becuase that's the way its supposed to be. The US owes it to the Iraq people and the world to give aid to that country. If you wouldn't give aid those people would have died because the US destroyed the infrastructure in the beginning of the war. Under Saddam they were surviving and just how would it look if under the US control everyone would die (in no way implying that everything was fine under Saddam). Actually your right. I don't care about that. It will be news when those people get back their safety in their own country. It would also be news if the US left them to rot.

America has to stay there till they can safely rule their own country which will only be possible till the different factions learn to work together in harmony. So in my eyes it is the US duty to help solve the differences. You won't be able to leave till they are solved. The US started that war without provocation, without cause and now they have to finish it and I doubt if they can. That's why I said that.

And ofcourse I think that the US needs to do every little piece. They started this on their own so you have to take the responsibility to finish it on your own if noone wants to help. I think this war never should have happened but if it had to be done it should have been done with UN consent. Your government decided to not do that and are now facing some of the concequences. I too would like to see more countries helping out but I can't blame them for not doing it because its too dangerous. In my eyes its too dangerous now because of the way the US started the war and so the entire situation the US is in now is their own fault.

I'm quite shocked to read the way your downplaying the constant assaults. Especially since it are/might be people you know or work with. It is the most important factor against stability in that country. I really don't understand why you would want the media to not show the awfull things that are still happening there (and in Afghanistan too btw).
