What the heck are you talking about?

You need to take a cool shower and start over.

But then again, you probably won't be around that long.

No. I am not a 'leftist'.
I said I did not like the bomb picture because it made no sense to me and basically symbolizes war.
I am a conservative with two sons, one retired from the U.S. Army. The other is on active duty.
I poste these articles because I think they are important works for our national conversation.
I also enjoy the freerepublic.
If I misunderstood someone's intentions with the bomb picture, I apologize.

Who would of thought someone with the name "FeeRepublic_Rules" would be zot material?

I guess you can't judge a book by it's cover or a FReeper by his/her name. lol.

They probably thought for months about using a “friendly” name, but they ended up posting like idiots. Not a very smart move, LOL.

You don't think a nuclear bomb blast is a disturbing picture?

No, not at all. Some of them are quite beautiful. Here's one of IVY MIKE that's particularly pretty.

No one was ever killed in any of these atmospheric nuclear tests at Bikini atoll you know.

UPDATE: An Iraqi living in London wrote that he heard noices as he was casting his vote in a polling station in the United Kingdom. He turned around and saw Iraqi voters kicking Al Jazeera's crew out of the premise. The crew aparently came to cover the elections in this polling station. Upon seeing the channel's logo on the cameras, several Iraqis got angry and forced the crew to leave the area. He also said that he heard the same incident happen in Holland as well.

Ya gotta LOVE IT!

Didn't learn much then did ya?

"Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody's power, that is not easy."
Aristotle

Al Jazeera cannot be accused of sedition because it is neither American nor based in America. The laws in other countries pertaining to free speech may well allow people to advocate whatever they like, including the overthrow of the USA. Go to speakers corner in London and you will find people publicly advocating the over throw of the US, France and even the UK. Its not a crime there.

Additionally dropping a bomb on it may be regarded as a hostile act by the people who own it. The same people who are the biggest US allies In the region and host CENTCOM HQ in the region. The State of Qatar.

Yeah but the article is partly about it being shown here in the US and Canada. Also, if it aids and abets the enemy, that is an act of war on their part. A well-placed smart bomb would do a world of good for their coverage.

Surely then the guilty party are the cable operators. I await the smart bombs raining down on everyone bar Fox News.
