There's a difference between official war photographers/chroniclers and independant media, some embedded in front line units and some wandering around on their own. There are certainly enough viewpoints between Al-Jazeera and FoxNews to provide a balanced view of what is happening in this conflict.
And with regards to young men growing up with a different viewpoint, well I've no problem with this. My problem is with fanatics, IMO if a person feels that they're entitled to fifty virgins when they die, we can rest assured that once they're dead they'll be in a better place, and this world will be just a bit less radical. It's a win-win situation. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I sincerely do feel bad for men who've been brainwashed by their brutal government into protecting a man who would gladly sacrifice them in a vain effort to save his hide, but that doesn't change my opinion. Anyone who could blindly defend a government who brutalizes their own people would be VERY difficult to deprogram.
