| just received this from our man in Holland
Its like living on a different planet. We get the war news 24 - 7, on the cable news channels, complete with 'embedded' journalists reports from the coalition front lines. And images of missile launches and the consequent civilians missing limbs. The current focus on the BBC is about british construction companies squabbling with the europeans for the reconstruction contracts. Apparently the line is that because the british are instrumental in demolishing iraqs citys, they naturally deserve the contracts to rebuild them. I heard one comentator this morning say it was like a dentist demanding the right to your custom on the basis that he had just kicked your teeth in. | |
