I just find it ironic how everyone was so offended by the pictures from Bush's first political tv ad with the pics from 9/11, but insist that the American public see what is really going on over there. Trust me, the "American public" is bombarded daily with 600 dead!! 627 Dead!!!. At least 9/11 was cut and dry. There was no ambiguity about what happened; therefore, no political viewpoint necessarily being pushed. Be honest, be upfront - you want these pictures plastered everywhere to push your agenda - that's it. Well i say that's fine, but i think the media should also start showing some of the accomplishments we've made over there - you don't hear all to much about any of that. But anytime something good is said about what we've done over there, or the horrors we've stopped over there - well that's just right wing propaganda.
Trust me, the american public is suffering from no lack of negative coverage about this war. I think it's high time we got both sides of the story.
