I just wrapped up my participation on the BBC Radio’s World Have Your Say program during which guests discussed the killings of civilians in Iraq by coalition forces.
After approximately 20 minutes of exchange between guests (myself, a Canadian and an Iraqi), my BBC hosts thanked me for my input and switched to other guests. I found it interesting — but not unexpected — that I was outnumbered by individuals with opposing views.
While I was unable to insert any shameless commercial plugs for my blog or web sites, I was happy to be able to put on the American ideals of duty, honor and country. Hopefully, some of our troops in the Middle East heard the broadcast and appreciated someone standing up for them as I did. Oooh-rah!
Join the crowd, Bob. I was a guest on the show starting at 12:30 CT. They let me say my piece. They read an email from someone in Spain that said “I heard that US military are trained to shoot at anything that moves.” I asked what his ‘sourcing’ was, knowing full well that the emailer was just another America-hating idiot.
Besides, 1 conservative vs. a half dozen idiots is as close to fair as you’ll get. Adding more liberals won’t make it any more even, right???
