Of course! I am thick, really, I should have seen it myself (slaps hand dramatically to forehead, utters low moan.) It took you and zoomer to point out the apparent irony.
Thanks for all the nice, it really means a lot right now.

That'll probably be a relief - your nice freaks me out a bit!

Dragonfly your conservetive leanings gave you away.

Yes, Dragonfly, indeed they did!

I must be odd, because I look at the post before I think about the content. Seriously, I usually think I agree or disagree or whatever and then go *Oh look, it's that person I agreed with / hated / didn't understand from previous posts!*

Zoomer I was attempting irony.
Maybe your right della Americans don't do Irony.

Not American, Canadian. And yes, we do it. Often in return.

Maybe someone can help me out here. During a war {not this one honest} there are reporters who run around on the battle field between both sides. All to get the ultimate story. However when one of them dies their fellow reporters are almost suprised and angered as if a flack jacket with the words 'PRESS' is some type of magic shield. I am not saying any loss of liife is not terrible but it seems common sense would tell you being around an area with bullets flying and bombs exploding that accidents and misidentifications can and do easily occur.

All the rules have changed. Rules of war are no more, it would seem in a lot of ways. As someone associated with the media, I have to agree with you but I am not sure it is a new development. Vietnam was similar as far as media went.

Fifty years from now I do believe that September 11, 2001 will be looked upon as a major paradigm shift for the entire world.

I'm sorry... how are the rules of war no more?

I think that the problem is birth, that they're happening all too darn *often* in this instance!

DA ; Simply Vicky: Don't get pithy with me! Posted Apr 8, 2003
But then again, maybe not...
There is evidence that the Current Unpleasantness (which has nothing to do with September 11th, I am sure we've established *that*) was planned back in 1997 or 8.

Blatherskite, I was talking about the classic, WWI rules of engagement. No longer does there seem to be as much care for non-combatants. I was referring specifically to the media but even more so it seems to civilians.

The whole concept of "rules of war" has always seemed bizarre to me, but I certainly miss them when they're gone!
