I agree that the pictures - the acts - don't make the cause any less just.

I too visited Ground Zero one month afterward. I had lived in lower Manhattan, very near the Towers, for a time several years before, and so it resonated with me not just as an American, but also becaue it was "my old neighborhood." The barricades were still up, and I couldn't even tell where I was because the obvious "north star" by which we all navigated - the Towers themselves - was gone. And the smell was horrific and pervasive. Like a boiling pot of Ajax cleanser, right under your nose - even a half mile away. People were walking around with face masks, to the grocery, etc., and I'm virtually certain that those that did not will suffer long-term health effects. I will spare people the details I heard of what rescue workers found.

I do agree we're at war, and need to do what's necessary.

But I think, even putting the worst possible face on it, it's striking how the same press that went to such great lengths to dissuade people from drawing any possible conclusions about Moslems or Arabs as a whole from 9/11 are NOT doing it in this case.

Which side are they on? It really is p*ssing me off, big time!

And yes, again I will say, who was the idiot with the camera?

But I think, even putting the worst possible face on it, it's striking how the same press...... Which side are they on? It really is p*ssing me off, big time!

I too am P*ssed off. As to which side is the media on, well I think we all know the answer to that question.

There is a culture war going on in the US at the moment and both sides are struggling for power. It is my blief from talking to many young people, that the pendulum has changed direction and that the US is headed to a more "conservative" and "traditional-values" population majority.

The ruling elite media, and those that control the Democratic party do not want this to happen. We saw for several months pride in our military. The media is now trying to convince the masses that the military is essentially evil. I believe that this attempt will not work, but that it will slow things down and possible hurt some politicians.
