I guess in our reality TV world we now live in, we dont want it to be so real. That't the truth. The thing is there is so much "real" activity going on that we rely on filters in the form of TV news and newspapers. Only since the Web and the advent of forums like SI and blogs can we see the filters. It makes me discount (or at least wait for more) so much of what I read and see in the mainstream media, including the "Arab press" and "European press" which are as filtered as ours. A reality TV show which showed daily life in Iraq or in the military, about which the vast majority of Americans know nothing, would really be a shock to the old worldview.

cobalt.carebridge.org Part of me thinks it should be required viewing for americans to see what we are up against. The other part of me doesnt want to see something so horrific required viewing? by whom? i agree with you it is required viewing...but who is the one who requires it? it is ourselves or must you be spoonfed only the images that CBS, CNN et all want you see? the link is provided, i wonder how many americans will take 5.37 minutes out of their day to bear witness to the "greatness of allah" but before you do, i suggest as you wait for the clip to download, you get on your knees and stay there as i did.., not to pray for the soul of this innocent man, but pray for yourself, pray that you are not overtaken by the kind of hatred that inhabits the savage worshippers off "allah"
