That’s incredible. I found you reply equally laughable.

Being immature isn’t so hard to do. Eh?

(seriously, what you typed was lame, but I forgive you)

:-D

  
When you say that the BBC is/was biased, are you taking into account that pretty much throughout the whole recent war in Iraq a full ONE THIRD of the *American public* mistakenly believed that WMDs had been found in Iraq? And that a 22% believed they had actually been used against the British and US troops?

Listen, I live in Canada, and our military did not participate in Iraq. Whether this is good or bad is something I still have not come to a conclusion to.

On the Iraq war, I think ousting Saddam was a victory for democracy, and furthermore a victory for the Iraqi people.

Whether America had the right to go to war or not, I don’t know. I’m not in the intelligence community, so I just can’t definitively say.

Given that kind of mass misleading by the American media (who else to blame?), may I please ask that you tone down your (highly offending to some of us) accusations? If only because to some of us, the BBC and Lego represent two of the highest modern achievements of mankind. Way way way higher than any weapon system that you can think of.

Wow, BBC highest modern achievements of mankind... The threshold of achievement is clearly low for you. :-p

I kid, you can like the BBC as much as you want. It’s still not going to change the fact that some people roll their eyes during the broadcasts.

  

/I-am-not-biased-disclaimer: I have worked in the aeropace and defense industries and have great friend still working there

Do you think I care? I’d respect your opinions even if you didn’t.

Peace,
