[quote="Sgt. Paine":c4d22]Jean Chretien is a faggot.

[quote:c4d22] Nor was Chretien very sympathetic about the tragic loss of human life on September 11, 2001.

Chretien suggested that the West, especially the United States, was to blame for the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.[/quote:c4d22][/quote:c4d22]

Had you even heard of him before you read that article?

In regards to Mach, in my opinion, in general, people are influenced by others. We see this everythwew. people agree with others not to cause confrontation. If media says one thing, people will agree. I think the media is extremly influential on how people base their decisions which I think is wrong. If the media operated with transparency and in the best interests of those watching, perhaps it would be worthwhile to listen. Until this happens, it's not worth my time.

Any government will use the media to get their agenda through. They'd be stupid not to. Independent media? I don't think so.

The problem specifically with this issue is that people have no idea what were doing in afghanistan or why were there. The line between going in to OBL after 9/11 and our current duties have been blurred. The current mission has nothing to do with OBL or anything like that.

People are willing to just go along with it beacuse it's easier to do that then to ask questions. If it doesn't affect them, their not worried about it. Perhaps this eludes back to Chretiens comments in the article.
