What's there to be "lucky" for to see bombardment? Is this 24/7 news coverage, internet war updates etc. just a new video game for you? There are people killing other people. There is no "game over - restart game" in this show!

I think this is a 'visual puzzle' in it's own right. Enough for this saturday night. So I won't post anything on another kind of... you know what today.

Honestly, we all know the war is not a show. But then, as crooked as the media play is today, how do even know the camera is from Baghdad? It could be from anywhere (at least the night views) for all I know. Ok, maybe it is real, but even seeing this picture frame does not give you the whole truth. It seems so calm,when the cars just drive on the road...

Laura is right. Let's not give the media what they want. Let's not be their puppets anymore. If we want to see such things we can go to the cinema and watch a scary movie. At least the movie will be fake. But this war is not....

I agreee

i concur.
the media coverage just helps stoke the fires of war and creates unrealistic hopes for it viewers.

So far... only my friend, user from this forum have actually seen the live bombing from the website... it's so happen that he left the window on and went to sleep, suddenly his speaker blast with a loud explosion, he woke up, went to his PC and saw...... US and UK planes, bombers, bombed Baghdad... Tomahawk missile hitted many targets!!! He is damn lucky man!!!!! I have tried to stay on most nites and have no luck!

I'm afraid I don't see any luck in seeing people die. Whether they aren't visible in the distance or if they are the pinpricks at the front of the camera. Would you still watch if it was the other end of your town being bombed?

The only good thing to come of this war is that the Propaganda Channel (CNN) is more like a comedy show with all these reports and all the lies that the US government are telling, at least you can't say that they aren't inventive.

LOL nice avatar SwitchBlade 😃 😃 😃 😃

if you want propaganda channel, just watch the FOX News channel.

we live in a world where communications is king. whether it be by TV or Internet, the majority of us are partially desensitized by all this.....we are pounded with almost minute by minute reports LIVE or Recorded from the frontline, that it sometimes feels like a fly-on-the-wall documentary...informative and oddly entertaining.

i understand when one says they are 'lucky' to be there when the bomb hits, heck....at the time, sad as it is, i felt lucky to be watching when the second plan hit the WTC. no lie, i felt i witness a histric moment firsthand, like one would say "i saw that" when reading books 10yrs down the line.

its not something to be proud of, but it a human nature to be curious and it todays society where stuff like this happens everyday, one feels compelled to witness, just to be there at that moment even if it thousands of miles away at your TV or Computer screen...like being there when Winona made her five finger discount.

its a sad and sometimes painfull world we live in.

I think the value of a link like this to camera in Baghdad is very important.Knowledge is power and the more information from both sides are available, the better one is equipped to form your opinion. If their is only one source of info available , it's impossible to get a balanced view.

My personal opinion. Although Saddam is a tyrant and a threat to world peace, It's difficult to justify this war. There are other states a lot more likely to supply terrorists with weapons of mass destruction. North Korea and Pakistan springs to mind, but then they don't have any oil to sweeten the pot and the Bush dynasty has no interest in Oil 😉

So what's his dynasty interest in? :-? How long will his dynasty last?
