I don't know if any of you have caught National Geographic Explorer where they have Peotr Arnett giving them a tour around Baghdad... I just watched one segment where they were showing Arnett in a media convoy following the UN inspectors and trying to dodge Iraqi traffic... The funny thing is that the Iraqis forced the UN inspectors to make a "pit stop" so that some of the slow-moving reporters could catch up... Seems the Iraqis believe the media is part of the inspection process as well.. It just highlights what a joke the inspections actually are... Hawk

hawk, if you know how to use the who wrote in the messages, could you point to where a discussion on child molesting occurred. Also, some folks don't like the word stupid. They for some reason think it is an insult. I wonder at the rudeness of total ignorance of those who laugh at religions by refusing to use capitals on words that refer to God. Words like Christianity for example. In general a conversation on religious topics illustrate how mis-information, or false information lead to faulty analysis. Understanding the nature of any thinking on complex issues is beneficial in understanding all complex issues. America is founded on the principles of Christianity. As I posted earlier, it may be that far different principles lie and the heart of Islam. The coverage of the deeds of a few and the application of todays PC attitudes applied to the actions of members of a church in a time where the understanding of the problems was far more ignorant is very illustrative of much faulty thinking that occurs in the analysis of foreign policy.
