Geo, just a small question:
Is this your personal opinion, or is this the general opinion promoted by the news in the US ?
I only ask because it is so different from the news I get in Norway (and from BBC).

I am not sure what you are asking me. Which point? Or do you mean the whole thing?

Of course I can only give you my personal opinion, the same as anybody here, yourself included. The US press is not of a single mind about the war anymore then the population of our country, or any other country for that matter. All one can do, and what I try to do, is get as much information as I can from as many sources as I can and formulate an opinion of my own.

I read the BBC, I read CNN and several other US news organistions, I read the arabnews website out of Saudi Arabia, and the Haretz news daily out of Isreal. I even try to read the Al Jazeera website, although since the inception of their english Version web page it's been tough to get on there because of the constant DOS attacks of a bunch of idiots with more technical skills then common sense.

And I try to read most of the links people put in their comments here. And I have been reading a lot of the blogs that have gotten so much attention lately. Although most of those are just opinions of people that have no more direct knowledge of the events then myself.

I don't believe everything I read from any of them. But all the little pieces go together to form the view that I have.
