    First of all war in and of itself has no ground on morality, its a horid and atrocious thing. but it happens and it is neccesary sometimes, both in its defensive and aggresive forms. Secondly there is no such thing as an illegal war, the blame or legality of a war is merely a way for the victor to apply to the defeated in most cases. And at last to the actuall point of this thread, whats wrong with a channel devoted to the military, it'll just be like CSPAN and CSPAN2. 2 channels I might add that most people in other countries don't get or wont know about. If you dont want to hear what they want, or you want a view thats slanted more towards your line of thinking or just want to hear some good ol American bashing stick to the BBC.

    It wont affect you at all, thats the problem with a foriegn citizen complaining about it. It wont amount to much and most likely you wont get the channel even by your satelite provider.

    Tex, Your picture doesn’t seem relevant to the discussion at all. Rather it appears to be a vulgar attempt to stifle debate
    Neither was that Iron. That has neither a thing to do with the channel being created or the previous discussion on the debate of foriegners discussing and trying to influence domestic law. It is nothing more then a vulgar and disgusting attempt to crush and quell all dissent. I pointed out if you want to play that way, I can too.

    Ummm, no. I posted that in response to CR and how he complained about jumping off the gun to 1984 references. Although I didn't specifically state that I did post it almost immediately after a quote of his comment. I thought that would be self explanatory.

    I never made any statement or inference that because your country runs concentration camps that your opinions are somehow not valid. I never tried to play that game, you did.
    and New Zealand.
