Greg,
I would have to agree with you for the most part. But, here on this board, it has been proven that they are quick to critize before digging into the story and/or message. I agree, both sides are extremely pig-headed because it seems as if their "side" just can't be wrong on anything. Like one remark here stating that the polio vaccines were poison is something to be heard in first grade recess and not from adults debating. But, it does represent the mindset when the mind has predetermined that all is wrong or right with an issue regardless of facts.
The list on the site is obvious. After almost four years in Iraq and over a trillion dollars spent, it would be naive to think that anything good hasn't happened. What is shown on our TVs everyday are the bloodshed...mostly in Bagdad. But in the North and South where various ethnic groups don't co-exist, there is more progress in making the country return to a normal life. But...and Dani hinted to it...by reporting positive progress would be translated into supporting the Bush war and that just isn't popular right now. (Nor would it be a logical train of thought to think that way...but the right would any way)
I don't say that this supports the cause of the war nor the deaths of both Americans and Iraqis. But, what I do say is how the news agencies love showing all the negative and none of the positive on, not just this issue, but all issues. That is why, like I said before, we need to revert to the days of Walter Cronkite and telling the news like it is instead of the sensationalism news that Fox and CNN give the world today.
