re: Canadians were not fooled by the WMD story, or by your ambassador's threats of economic sanctions

After being called "cowards" for not joining the war in Iraq, even though we supported the action in Afghanistan and had our troops fired on and killed by American troops while there, we probably are more justified in our scathing news reports. Likewise France and Germany who refused to support the action in Iraq. However the fact that Al Jazeera published plenty of articles that vividly described the military actions by allied troops, I can't agree that the worst articles come from our own media. I think the articles you are seeing are a direct reflection of the inherent mistrust by the people and the media of political figures, their motives, and their actions, simply being confirmed by past and current events around the world.

How do you know that what you are reading on a military computer wasn't pre-prepared "just so" to create the right attitude among enlisted personel like yourself?
