<<Without an equivalent 911 event in Britain, they have not yet fully awakened from a deep slumber and contemplated what the release of WMD's in London could do to them and the economy.>> Wow....do you really think because of 911 that we now have the market cornered on expertise in terrorism and what it's like to experience it?!?!? The British have been experiencing terrorist acts on their mainland since the early seventies from the IRA! Fortunately no single event as large as 911 has happened but to suggest that the British "have not yet fully awakened from a deep slumber" is simply ludicrous! I watch the BBC as well as all of the major American networks. What I see is a much more objective approach to their journalism and also a much better perspective of the human side of this whole mess. If you want rah rah John Wayne journalism stick to the Fox network and you'll feel much better about yourself. <<the official news channel of Great Britain wants the British to lose in Iraq?>> Statements like this reflect very poorly on the writer (and I realize it was a quote from another poster).
