TC- Yeah I saw that poll as well, it does seem that most Americans are saying "screw you" to not just the UN, but the world. Not only did they go into this war without support of the UN, now they're gonna keep the UN from helping rebuild Iraq. It makes me really mad that they are able to do this, to sit there saying "screw the world, we're americans!" yeah i was on a German web site a few weeks ago and saw a picture of a US troop holding up a sign "Fuck France/Germany" what a lovely attitude. To be honest I'm starting to see the US as more of a threat to world peace than Saddam Hussein. I mean I don't care what that flag meant, what was he thinking?! It's a symbol of occupation! Of course the media will play everything up. Where do you think the next scuicide bombers will come from? They will see american troops fireing on people waveing white flags and not know that people waveing white flags have in the past turned around and fired!the media's the most deadly weapon of all.

TC; If that flag flew over the WTC, you would have needed binoculars to see it. What size is it 3 x 4 meters (10ft x 13ft) just scale it to the guy in the picture

I'm thinking now of the humanitarian catastrophe developing through the reporting media in Bagdhah for the whole world to watch. The invading armies have just proved themselves unable to effectively police the invaded cities against looting and widespread violence Two days ago it was reported that the prisons had been opened, so along with the victims of Saddam's brutal regime, the real criminals just hit the road to have the time of their lives in a lawless environment. Angry mobs, however, have already taken the law in their hands and there have been graphical reports of looters stoned to death.
It is pathetic, though, that along with the commercial installations and administrative buildings, even hospitals are being looted at a time when many 'colateral damage' plus people that are being victimized by the increasing violent mood require urgent medical attention.
This is past the propaganda stage, turning into the reporting of the scale of the damage inflicted to the whole of a country achieving chaos and anarchy as the immediate consequence of 'freedom.'
