  Simon with your logic then....Adrien Brody was the brave one because he was taking a stand against what the majority of the Hollywood lefties believe.(He was in room full of them)His stand was less far less popular than Michael's yet he got more respect than Michael.

  Adrien Brody got his message across without being disrespectful to anyone and he got a standing ovation. Michael was arrogant and nasty, he got nothing but boos and a couple of half hearted claps.

  I respect people that take a stand on what is morally right .

  Sandy,

  I feel the same way. I believe people should take the high moral road and refuse to fund child molesters by not buying their music, going to their movies, buying their art or whatever . I can't think of one person that I could not live without their "art" .Children are more important. It's really sad Like I always say..our moral fiber is unraveling at a rapid speed...It's scary.

  YELLOW RIBBON : Show your support!

  a lot of us can have different opinions about going war... some can support it... other can protest it... and thats what freedom of speech is all about.

  but there's a threshold and we're past that threshold... we're at war.

  so no matter what your opinions were before or even now no one can change the fact that we are at war and that won't change no matter how much those that oppose it try.

  A Man Of His Word.

  reuters news agency states that tony blair has, at last, obtained a marginal majority in the percentage of brits who are behind the war on iraq.

  56% of uk citizens now support the war and the numbers are increasing steadily despite the number of british casualties.. at present, the brits in iraq total forty thousand, almost a third of the entire uk army.. it's a strange thing, but i saw this moment coming 18 months ago.

  it wasn't on 9 / 11 when the nytc was bombed, but on the following day.

  The War on the Web
  Sites to see on the road to Baghdad.
  By Avi Zenilman
  Updated Wednesday, March 19, 2003, at 3:05 PM PT
  
  

  The Iraq invasion is the first major war on the Web. Now that the tanks have started rolling, millions of Americans are crowding the Internet to catch up on the latest news, see pictures, and send e-mail to loved ones in danger. After you've checked out Slate—it was your first stop, right?—here's where you should you go for updates, speculation, on-the-ground blogging, official statements, and even war comedy.

  Mainstream MediaThe special Iraq Web sites for the Washington Post, the New York Times, MSNBC, and CNN are all good sources for late-breaking news, streaming video, maps, and nifty interactive backgrounders.

  If you find the American Iraq pages overwhelming, then jump across the Atlantic to England's Guardian newspaper's Special Report: Iraq. The page's efficient organization and solid reporting make it easier to use than the American news sites. Don't miss the Guardian's "Weblog," which is less a blog than a portal to the day's best journalism. Track the effects of the war on the global economy and on oil markets at Bloomberg's energy markets page.

  Background Information
  What exactly is a BLU-118 Thermobaric bomb? How about a GBU-16 Paveway II? Globalsecurity.org has an excellent encyclopedia of the weapons and vehicles the United States is using in the war. Its Target Iraq page is jam-packed with links and specific military information. The site also publishes U.N. documents and resolutions.

  Defensetech.org is a blog that provides a boatload of information on new military technologies and national security. While not organized in any systematic way, it always has something new and interesting.

  The Council on Foreign Relations runs a superb Iraq Resource Center with everything from a timeline to journal articles.

  The Official Story
  (Almost) daily State Department briefings can be found here. The White House posts free video of all presidential speeches and announcements (as well as Ari Fleischer's press briefings). Britain's official briefings are also available.

  Also online is the Iraq News Agency, a mouthpiece for Saddam's positions and propaganda.

  Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's Iraq crisis section shows how the U.S. government is conveying the news to the people of the Middle East.

  The United Nations' official Iraq page is hopelessly cluttered and often unresponsive (not unlike the organization itself), but if you can get it to work, it's a great clearinghouse.

  Blogwar
  Dear_raed is a must-read blog by a current Baghdad resident. Check out his fascinating March 16 ramble about how he reluctantly supports the U.S. march to war and doubts the influence of fundamentalist Islamism in Iraq. It's not clear how the author manages to evade Saddamite censorship and scrutiny. We sent an e-mail asking how he does it. If he replies, we will tell you.

  Www.kevinsites.net is a blog by Kevin Sites, a CNN correspondent stationed in northern Iraq. Sites' reporting is unvarnished, direct, and full of the nitty-gritty details of war reporting A March 17 post, "Whispers of War," is a window on the professional rivalries that persist, even a war zone.

  Streaming video and radio have nothing on the Agonist, a blog that is providing rapid-fire war updates and commentary based on CNN coverage, news wires, and private sources.

  The Middle-East Reaction

  Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency seems to be the quickest-responding of all the Middle Eastern government news outlets. Its reports focus mainly on what's going on in the Shi'a areas around Basra.

  Arab News is an English-language, semiofficial Saudi media outlet. Although its reporting may not always be reliable, it suggests how this war is playing in Riyadh. Lebanon's Daily Star is more trustworthy but much less entertaining. For a quick digest of how the Middle-East media portrays the war, the World Press Review's Middle-East section is excellent.

  Al Jazeera video is available at www.favo.tv, an English-language Web site that streams from various TV and radio stations worldwide. It often doesn't work, so if you understand Arabic, the official Al Jazeera site may be a better source for the broadcasts.

  Ha'aretz's special Iraq section will be a valuable source of news if Saddam decides to attack Israel. For a more offbeat Israeli view of the war, check out the Iraq-centric ribbityfrog.blogspot.com.

  If Chatterbox's Kurd Sellout Watch isn't enough, visit KurdMedia, a news site/portal for all things Kurdish.

  Curiosities

  While Terraserver offers archived satellite images of world cities including Baghdad, this website is providing up-to-the-minute weather satellite photos of Iraq--with explanations. An 8 AM EST post on March 20 contains a picture taken of Basra oil fields at 5 AM EST, along with comments that it looked like there was an oil well fire--three hours before news outlets reported anything about this.

  Should United States troops worry about sandstorms? Check out this Iraq weather map.

  Who's going to lead Iraq after the war? What are the odds of capturing Osama Bin Laden by October? What will the terror alert level be in June 2003? At Tradesports you can now bet on international politics, with nothing at stake but fake money and bragging rights.

  Humor
  If you need a brief respite from the grim news, take a breather at Iraq Humor Central. Be sure not to miss the parody slide show. Also, check out the Saddam games section, where you can do everything from playing the role of a crazed U.N. weapons inspector to creating a goofy press conference .

  Yes , It is apparent that alot of friendships are and will be damaged before this is over. People's true colors are starting to show.Just about every day here I see more and more people losing respect for people they once had it for.Its too bad that people let their politcal veiws blur what is really fair for ALL....
