It's 1:00am here and Peter Jennings is still reporting. He's starting to look really tired though. I figured they would be letting him take a break for at least an hour or something.

Another update on the casualties, the believed 16 troops killed is actually now thought to be 12. Where it was 8 Britons and 4 Americans in the helicopter as of the latest release on it, again still sad but 12 is better than 16 I suppose

I like CBC newsworld. Objective, competant accurate. No hysterical flag-waving. This war may turn into an utter failure but it may just destroy the Canadian alliance. So at least one good thing has come out of the war.

Concerning "hysterical flag waving" that's your problem.

The Canadian Alliance is the main opposition party in Canada- though of course it might be a bit much to expect some people to actually know what's going on in a country that's, gee, what- a couple of hundred miles away from their hometown. Always happy to alleviate ignorance

I will however admit that I don't know anything about Canadian Alliance "party" though. Maybe you can enligten me. I did look up some things on the web about them. It seems they're also against the Kyoto Treaty and feel that it will be bad for the Canadian economy. There website doesn't really seem to say very much on how they stand on the issues. By the way - the ignornace concerning our two countries goes both ways. I've talked to MANY Canadians who thought that New Jersey was part of New York. Most Canadians also don't seem to know much about our government or states either. I'm also a little bit further from Canada than a mere couple of hundred miles, unlike the majority of Canadians who live within 90 miles of the US/Canadian border. How much do you know about the politics of New Jersey?

Oh! JD I don't mean the alliance with the U.S! (godspeed and good luck to the forces etc. etc.). God forbid! (and I mean that wholeheartedly and I don't want to think about _bad_ relations with the U.S!
I do happen to think the war is a bad idea (though a screw up would be far worse). It's just that as a capital L liberal (think a leftie democrat) the misfortunes of the Canadian Alliance-(think republican party, with a distinct Montana flavour) make me gleeful. I don't want guntoting two-tier health care promoting, abortion banning, voucher school focused MPs running my country-and now it seems I won't need to worry about it. I can even vote for the NDP to protest Liberal arrogance and corruption. If you're really curious about Canadian politics I can give you a short run through of the issues on the table. Though you sound like an Alliance voter yourself (I can deal with it ) and would disagree with someone who would vote for NDP every so often.

I really hope my post clears up such misunderstandings
And hysterical flag waving is my problem-I think it's merely a Canadian aversion to blatant patriotism. I actually think it's one of the admirable things about the United States-but it can get exasperating to a guy like me. By the way the NDP is a left-wing party, social democratic in orientation, and my prefered protest vote to the Liberal party, which has run the country since 1993, and will likely do so until 2009 at least. Now back OT: Who thinks Saddam is dead? I think that would be great. (see I'm sure JD and I agree on some things )

I am glad you're not for the eliminate of the US/Canadian Alliance. I'd hate for th US to feel it has to reactive the military forts in Buffalo. I personally like the fact that we live in a peaceful hemisphere where I can travel the entire continent without a passport or having to go through military check points like so many other countries (especially during the cold war between the East and West European countries).

It is funny how he hasn't been on TV since the first bombing - and it seems as if most people feel that wasn't even him. Maybe he wants us to believe he's dead - but I'm sure it's just as likely that his government wants his people to believe he's alive.

Also - look at how much they are trying disprove that their military is surrendering - yet they haven't had Hussein on TV to say that he is still alive. It seems a little strange.

I want to know who comes up with the names for the military assualts. This one - "Exemplary Destruction" I think is out of line. That's the name of the bombing campaign I guess that is going on now.
