    Outstanding post, Spiffor. I agree completely.

      Thanks. I tried to be as sincere as possible. I expect targeted people to simply overlook it as "whining" though

        Well, no need to get to worked up about those that think you are whinning: there is nothing to be done about them.

        Hopefully the number of people who do die from this will be the smallest possible.

        Edit: isn't it 1 am over there in the Republic of Freedom?

          True for most of them, but Ned is an intelligent guy, and often shows it when he isn't caught in the hysteria around.

          Edit : It is 3:00 in France (please don't call it Republic of Freedom, it really makes as little sense as the Land of the Free). But I'm a night owl.

            Idd, I agree, though I won't have trouble sleeping, as there is simply so much injustice in the world (that I read in the paper everyday, perhaps these things don't reach the US media, save for the few quality papers there) that it's not really touching me.

            Only when I get personally involved or if I get up and close to witness the carnage I wouldn't be able to sleep... However I DO care, something which a lot of interviewees on the telly don't seem to do!

            Just watch CNN or BBC world

            You'll get more Live shows, exclusive footages, dangerous pictures and explosions that you can take.... Naturally, you will only see the explosions from afar, not seeing the damage, and of course, civilian casualties won't be mentioned, unless there is no way possible to deny it!

            24h/day non stop War on television, I know some people here who will be overjoyed, even though they won't want to admit! hah

            I've given up on television, as there is only 1 reliable channel in Belgium and even that is being transformed into... popular subjective crap (well in news broadcasting that is)
