after the question article said:
[font=Verdana,]Is this balanced, objective reporting by the BBC?[/font]

If the public can be convinced that this latest 'threat' is real, then politicians can again unleash their bombers with impunity.[/font]

[font=Verdana,]How many more innocent people have to die before journalists wake up to their moral responsibility to protect human life, to treat Third World nations as something more than Western playthings, to challenge warmongering propaganda, and to develop their powers of independent, rational thought?
but hey, whatever...there's more important shit going on...
