There may be inconsistency in the details, but the big picture is really not as obscure as you'd like it to be. Details make up the big picture, Win. If the details are wrong, the big picture cannot be accurate. Or, in your case, and in the case of a lot of others, it can be whatever you want it to be. Sorry I have to point out something so basic. Perhaps you might want to read this perceptive piece on how reality gets altered. I didn't write it, of course, so maybe you'll give it some credence. Message 20148947

<<Of course, given that the "media" has this occasional bad habit of following the news in the conventional sense of the word instead of just regurgitating White House press releases like they oughta (ref: #reply-20145236 ) I fear you may be subjected to more unpleasant coverage in days and weeks to come. Or maybe they'll come to their senses and tell us all what a nice place to be Iraq is these days, who can say?>>> I could say Iraq must have been one of the most peaceful, civilized, and religious countries on earth before we got there. Whenever we shoot or drop a bomb it lands on a wedding party, a mosque, a schoolyard full of kids, a car full of innocent civilians going to church, or a hospital. Whenever they kill somebody in self defense it turns out to be the head of the local UN or their people, the Red Cross,the President of the IGC or one of its members, or an Iraqi policeman that wants to have a government. Along with our soldiers. Sig
