I dont have much time to post but I have to say one thing. Stop quoting Star Trek please. I love the show dont get me wrong. I love all of them (except DS9 and Enterprise). And that is why please shut up, because you are ruining my show. I wont be able to hear Riker or Picard or Kirk from now on without thinking of this bitter never-going-to-end argument. Its just plain annoying, so please be humane to my show and quote something I dont care about like Rudy did! lol
*starts the "Save the Star Trek foundation" and starts pickiting*

Anyway, just one comment about the whole thing with the news programs putting a spin on things. While its true that the facts are there despite the spin, the spin DOES matter because while its a fact saddams lawyers were murdered, it might not be for the reason the biased things give. The "what" is true, the "why" isnt. So the spin does matter and its naiive to think otherwise.

And to jump on the bandwagon heres some quotes from something I dont really care TOO much about lol
Gundam Wing:

People who commit war are stupid, but the blood they spill is not meaningless. -- Dr. J

And I cant find the exact quote but here it is paraphrased:
Heero: You want peace but you arent willing to fight for it? Anything worth having is worth fighting for, for how can you appreciate the peace if it is not hardwon? For me peace is worth fighting for.

That quote is probably a lil messed up from the original but the idea is there.
