#1 Don't wet yourself Murat, it's just one regrettable incident, not the end of the war.

#3 Isn't the first, won't be the last, unfortunately. Friendly fire incidents have happened sporadically and both Brits and Yanks are to blame.

Btw, do you know what a 'Caps Lock' key is for, Murat?

#4 I can write about a dozen articles that start: "*fill in name* had just gotten off the phone with his/her wife/husband -- just a quick reminder that the kids had soccer practice that evening.. *fill in name* agreed that he/she was also looking forward to the vacation the happy family would soon be taking together.. Suddenly, *fill in name* felt the blast as the building shook with an enormous explosion -- fortunately for *fill in name's* family, his/her death was almost painless as the jet crashing into the WTC instantly vaporized his/her body..."

touching, isn't it... war is horrible -- people (yes, even children) die -- it sucks, but it happens......

#5 Hey Fred, can you direct Murat to someplace where he can get his own blog site? Doesn't he get a limit of some kind? I don't come here for the propaganda, and his bold-facing is starting to get to me.

#6 The caps lock I can do without, but it's real news that's in circulation elsewhere. You can bet it will be played up bigtime by those who want to break Britain out of the coalition. And Murat kept it short - that's nice. Now if he'd just stop posting useless straight-from-the-Information-Ministry stuff like, "In a last gasp before their certain defeat, the Americans bombed five orphanages and a kindergarten."
