>>Deja vu, and the French will love you for that. The "you wish" was actually related to the list... you pretty much forgot most of the rest of the world, not about the speed of problems being solved.

>The rest of the world? The majority of Europe publicly supports us. I will name a few of the countries: Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland. Australia is with us. Japan supports us. As a matter of fact, 46 countries are with us.

Italy: Berlusconi is not really having much support. He got into power by owning most of the media market. Such a monopoly would be against the FCC regulations here (unless we count the fact thet Powell jr heads it now)
IOW - you may say that 46 governments support the war. I'd beg to differ about "countries".

>The article states that Unocal is not, and has no plans to, be involved with the pipeline, further discrediting Rall. Also, the pipeline is expected to cost $2 billion. I am fairly confident that the war in Afghanistan has cost us more than that. The truth is that there is one American making money off Afghanistan... Ted Rall.
And he's making money on what he's writing, i.e. his own work. Unocal, I suppose, will be bringing its own oil from home to fill the pipeline.
>>Yes, someone had to invent a place where the links to all the UPI, BBC, Boston Independent, Sky etc articles can be found in one place. The guy writes only about 1% of what you see on the site. The other 99% are links to what's published elsewhere.

>And every article is against the U.S. and Israel. If that is what you find to be objective, keep on reading that and Ted Rall.
Thanks for a good advice, I appreciate it.
Irony aside, I'm having two screens on at almost all times: TV and monitor. TV is spitting mostly worthless propaganda, technical ponography about the artillery and other hardware, they are forbidden to show anything substantial... so I need the balance from the other side. After living a decade under Milosevic, I have developed this nervous tic that reacts very badly to state propaganda, and I've become very sensitive to it - I recognize it in mid-sentence. I specially get ticked off when it comes to waging wars for no good reason (except keeping incumbents in power) and then labeling anyone opposing it as non-patriotic, traitors etc. I've lived through that story, refused two kind invitations to join the madness, and you can't imagine how I feel seeing the same story repeat here, on a far worse scale.
So, despite me being a complete unbeliever, "I spoke and saved my soul".
(The last three words should better be interpreted as "saved my internal peace", because I also don't believe in "putting soul on a savings account" and such.)
