Though I can't dig up a link, I've seen a timeline showing a consecutive series of bombing operations by the US dating back to Vietnam. Talk about job security for the weapons manufacturers, eh?

It's easy to look at it humorously when it's not your country.

How about TRIALS instead of summary execution of individual suspects by sending cruise missiles?

Well, yes. *humanitarian story here too. Didn't know about the specific targets, which are tragic to the civilians. And talk about ineffective actions, considering all the occupants escaped - so if Intel thought they had found someone worth attacking, they totally screwed up royal.

Is Al Jazeera the most reliable news organization in the world right now?

A friend of mine in the navy thinks so.

, they're about as good as Fox. For getting news about middle east affairs they typically have a lot more of the facts than our media, but that's mostly based on target audiences. Watch more of Al Jazeera though and you see the same kind of bias that Fox has.

They did a documentary on Arab unity recently and the biggest disaster they say it has faced is the first war on Israel after it declared it's independence. The reason though has nothing to do with the casualties or the resulting plight of the Palestinian people. The disaster and shame is that they failed to destroy Israel. The tragedy isn't that they tried to wipe Israel off the map, but that they weren't successful.

>> ^jwray:

Because the guy they are going after in Somalia is working with Al-Qaeda to try and take down the ruling government in Somalia. If the government there could get there hands on him for a trial or extradition to the U.S. they'd have already happily done so.

Not saying that it justifies attacks like this or not, but it isn't as simple as sending out the local police to pick him up for questioning either.
