I don't know how much you're getting in the US about the ugly face of the war, but we're getting a great deal here.

Ha! What do you think?

Lots of somber-toned stories about American soldiers' funerals and lots of daily updates on how many have been killed--but like [livejournal.com profile] murasaki99 said, not on how many wounded and certainly nothing about Iraqis. They only report the military's official figures, so you know they're reputable--NOT. Iraqis might as well not exist on most mainstream US coverage. That's horrifying in its own right.

The perception/knowledge gap between the US and Europe seems to be only getting wider, and this doesn't help, not one bit. I do read the BBC site.
