It pains me to say it- but the Tom Murphy is right on this one. When diana died it was unnecessary grief which was over the country. Noel Gallagher was berated at the time for saying that the grief was for "fat housewifes in the home counties". He was spot on. If we are not careful we WILL lose objectivity on the matter. 1000's are dead- true, but do we need to add to this total by encouraging further attacks. A war on terrorism is one you cannot win. If you take out Osama bin Laden, Saddam or Gaddafi- you will only marytrise them and cause them to grow.<br>However let it be said that the media's role in whipping up a patriotic frenzy against these terrorists is bringing about a holy war. Instead of trying to bring about the destruction of the world, which will inadveratley happen if things continue in the course that they are (Vietnam springs to mind), wouldn't it be nice to find out the motives behind the attacak before the Americans, jump in before the water is full.....<br><br>Just a thought .......<br>Like most people sympathies to the masses, but please go sign the one on Yahoo or something... This is not the place <br><br><br>
