Subject: Re: 116 dead,4 last week in Afghanistan since 2002
Artful Dodger: I didn't see an argument, just how such comments can be made regarding a friendly powers soldiers who are fighting side by side with yours and my country's soldiers can be made on a TV station.
Quite frankly, it doesn't matter where it came from, but it was done.
It's bad form. Even us 'liberals' over here... except in a small number.. respect and love our troops and that of other country's fighting this war against terrorism.
Over here if such a broadcast was made, the company responsible will find themselves in court and probably lynched by a few million people descending on their offices. The regulatory body, who upholds complaints against a broadcaster will find their phone system overloaded with calls.
... It'd be raised in Parliament. Also every other company who broadcasts or prints will be condemning it. We'd probably do a petition for that companies licence to broadcast be revoked... And I recon the PM would say yes.. revoke it.
