| By the way, speaking of the Nick Berg video and how it's disturbing, I was in Spain when it came out and watched it on the nightly news, along with most other people in the country. They played the whole thing with a small mosiac over his head, but you could pretty much see and hear everything. It's funny how in America our media would never dream of showing that, and most people refuse to watch it on their own, while in Europe almost everyone saw it as part of the nightly news. I often hear that lefties and Europeans are out of touch with the real threat of militant Islam, but after taking this into account, you have to wonder which people are really more out of touch...one side sees the real deal, while the other sees Bush land on a ship sporting his huge package. | ||||

| Well, I guess if we had more personal responsibility for things like that, (ie: dont like the content, change the channel..) maybe we'd see that here.. I don't know that I'd really want to see more horrific images night after night though.. so not sure I'd watch. | ||||
