Hi Nadine. What's your take on the Al Samouddies II missiles? Will Saddam cave in to Blix UN ? I thought it would be done around now.

I think of the name every time I hear a reasoned debate on the BBC between someone holding a solidly "left" position (as defined in Britain) against someone holding a really far left position As opposed to much of the US media in which the same debate would be between someone holding a solidly "right" position (Scowcroft, just to drop a name) and someone holding a really far right position (Perle, just to drop another name).

When I spoke of the BBC I said "BBC news is excellent and more and more balanced global coverage." I believe your response indicates you interpreted that as reference to political leanings. That is not what I was referring to. I meant that it had "more balanced global coverage". I find that many networks focus on only a few topics of local interest ( western hemispheres, Iraq war, French disconnect etc. ) where BBC provides additional news items dealing with truly worldwide events that are normally not bothered with in Western coverage.
