In my last message I was very clear that I am empathetic to the US citizens are their families that have lost so much because of the TERRORIST acts executed during 9/11. But it amazes me how one can defend a media that has glamorized every event in history just to make a quick profit. Say it isn't so. O.J. Simpson? Who cares? What about freedom of speech? Especially when pertaining to the media? An individual who dares speaks against the grain is pressured by the large corporations who threaten to pull sponsorship if one does not apologize for their "trangressions" only to have the show cancelled by TV executives. Bill Maher anyone? My point is clear. American media has to create interest. Most Americans could not locate Canada on an unlabelled map so how could anyone take interest in Afghanistan? Easy. You give people the "MTV", U-S-A chanting, "America Strikes Back" version. Jazzy, dynamic, energetic...thougtless. Perhaps the American media should focus on how we got here. Why did 3000, sincerely sorry for the miscount, have to die? Why did so many Afghani people have to die as a result US bombs landing on their village during a wedding? Some UN estimates have exceeded 10000 Afghani civilians dying as a result of US bombs. Several of our Canadian soldiers died as a result of "friendly" fire. I guess the US lumber tariffs were also friendly fire on Canadians. American media should further expose how the Taliban became so powerful in the eighties. I can guarantee that less than 5 percent of Americans knew of the Taliban before 9/11. I am 31 years old and I was aware of the Taliban over a decade ago when they first started murdering civilians to form their oppressive regime. I had heard of how the US intelligence funded the Taliban during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Do you think that a group of uneducated herdsman can become so powerful overnight? No. Do your homework. And what of India and Pakistan. My parents were born in India and I had uncles die in the Indo-Pak border wars. This has been going on for over a half a century and your people just take notice now? Why? Because American blood has been spilled. When did the Americans participate in World War Two anyway? I cannot believe someone like yourself with your intelligence can only come up fumbling excuses for your government. Americans should demand more disclosure from their governments and turn OFF CNN. The American bureaus of CNN are brutal and orchestrated to hit the TV markets in the US. That kind of journalism would not fly in other countries because most other citizens of the world understand the reasons for geo-political tensions that exist in the world today. The average American does not. Talk about conspiracies. Your government believes in truth and freedom. What about Saudi Arabia? Probably one of the most oppressive regimes in the world and your country cowhers to them because of their oil. Saudi Arabia oppresses their people into silence and ignorance. You defend this? American bases in this country? Friend of the US? No. Money, control, power. Iraq has the second largest reserves in the world next to the Saudi's. And od your homework and find out why Iraq invaded Kuwait. Do you think Saddam Hussein is an idiot? He is a sociopath, just like your president and he will lie through his teeth to deem his reasons valid. But the Kuwaitis were angle drilling into Iraqi reserves long before the invasion that precipitated "DESERT STORM." America always needs a movie tital for their military exercises. For the record, I have close American friends who I love dearly. They also agree that the average American does not have enough exposure to the facts. Tony Blair? "THE BRITISH ARE COMING...THE BRITSH ARE COMING?." Such good friends aren't you. TRUTH Truth
