Regarding bias and graphic images.
If there were more graphic images on the news in regard to what was happening around the world, a lot of conservatives would be less inclined to support Bush's imperial invasions.
It's one thing for them to think that the US is going in to build schools and let people vote and purple fingers and all that. It's quite another for them to see the realities of limbs in the streets and kids without arms and what the actual reality is. It is my opinion that those who still support Bush's war of agression and choice think of the war in terms of how "good wars" are supposed to turn out. They seem to think that all the realities are just the first few minutes of the "Saving Private Ryan" but they pass by quickly and then we get into how all the troops are Tom Hankses and their causes are just (even when they have absolutely no choice in the causes) and soon the smoke will clear and there'll be a new Jeffersonian Democracy in the middle east making things all-good for America.
That may not be how they think but their defences and actions indicate that is how they think.
Hey Brass, we're doing well. Hard to believe the boys will be 3 soon... it seems like just yesterday when they were born!!
I'm inclined to agree with you on this, which was where I was headed to begin with. But Prince brought up a good point about not seeing graphic images of Bosnia or Kosovo either, which were under Clinton. So then what's the reason?
