Is it of any importance?

There is a lot of hypocrisy going on regarding the Bush’s intention to bomb Al-Jazeera. I don’t remember such outcry in the world [especially not among so called liberals, not to speak about Arabs & Muslims] when war criminal Clinton actually intentionally bombed TV Belgrade, killing 16 civilians and wounding scores of others during "humanitarian intervention" of NATO over Yugoslavia back in 1999.

Later NATO bombed almost all media outlets in that country and nobody even blinked [included TV Novi Sad, I worked for before I emigrated].*

On contrary there was a lot of jubilation even among the journalists themselves. They wrote about "striking the heart of Milosevic’s propaganda machinery", that it will somehow make that war shorter and similar bull---t. Claire Short, a big peacenik of today justified it, just as another big peacenik of yesterday, now 6 feet under the ground, Robin Cock. Heads of NATO states all had "explanations" and "justifications" for that horrible war crime. Actually, whole "humanitarian intervention" was big [war] crime. Just as Iraq is.

That intervention "illegal but legitimate", in my view, paved the way towards "liberation" of Iraq, and no wonder that war criminals in the White House & Downing street are getting tougher. Al-Jazeera was bombed in Kabul and Baghdad. We witnessed open shooting season on journalists in Iraq.

So, what’s the fuss all about now? Just that it was intention to bomb "unfriendly" media outlet in "friendly" country which happen host it? So what? Is it maybe obstacle for USA? It would be maybe too much? Ridiculous! Too much is already. And what can be obstacle for a country who took the right to kidnap any person from any country of this entire planet, fly him/her to some of secret bases in order to torture him/her, and eventually to dump him/her in judicial black hole i.e. concentration camp in Guantanamo bay?

And still Coca-Cola is selling good in the whole world.
