TV can be rubbish shocker
Urged on by the ape, I've just caught by the tail end of Jonathan Dimbleby's two-part ITV series, "The New World War". It would be unfair to pass judgment on the basis of the last five minutes, but I'm sorely tempted. Perhaps next time. Or never.
Now Terry Christian's trying to stir up a pointless argument about "war" with a studio audience. Right now he's talking to a WWII veteran who's wheezing about the defence of democratic values while the man in a cheap suit sat behind him nervously opens and closes his legs. Oh Terry, can't you make them eat a bowlful of toenails or something instead?

no - i thought the program was excellent. On Richard Perle's particular point - that the actual 9/11 hijackers were generally well-off and well-educated, I don't think they addressed it directly at all. (not that it couldn't have been addressed).
I expected Perle to take a 'good vs evil' line (very enlightening!.. 'some girls are bigger than others') but what he did say made more sense.
People who speak on talkradio should have "understanding 'doesnotequal' excusing" tattooed on their forehead.

Yes - ive told that stat. to about 4 people already! That was the big message.
Zionists often mention casually that it is 'Arab' countries that do most to oppress Palestinian refugees whilst offering no help.
Perhaps more on the sources of corruption (briefly mentioned) would have been relevant here.
The message of the economics would surely appeal to the neocon 'making the world safe for business' angle.

It's true that the Arab states that host Palestinian refugees have tried to prevent their assimilation and prolong their suffering in part to exert pressure on Israel. But it's also because Palestinian refugees, for better or worse, do not want to renounce their status as refugees.
