I think you read that all wrong. There is absolutely no correlation between the WOT and Battlestar Galactica... I watched and have watched this show from the MiniSeries through tonight and while there are always topics which might bring ot mind our current struggles, I have yet to see and episode where they were pushing a bias or an agenda.

If just because a show thought to use Suicide bombers makes it inherently biased towards terrorists then you are just wound WAY TOO TIGHT. The insurgents in this show are fighting for the survival of all humankind against robots - THEY ARE NOT FIGHTING TO IMPOSE THEIR IDEALOGIES ON OTHER HUMANS.

I thought the show tonight was done extremely well and I am keenly aware of bias when it rears it's ugly head in hollywood. I think you watched that show looking for a fight - it didn't even try to push an idealogy. The Humans needed a way to kep the Cylons eyes on the people on the planet and not on the skies above. In fact, I think they made the point that Suicide Bombings bring no success, all they bring is attention. And I believe that Roselyn (the former President) states that it is not something our morals allow for - in other words - the suicide bomber was not applauded or deified.

This show does a good job dealing with the subject at hand. They do a good job of showing HOW decisions are made and why they are made. The use logic and fight for success, not for what feels good. In fact, Adama calls out his son and calls him fat and lazy for not keeping himself in shape to fight for his fellow man -- aweful judgmental for a show that was trying to be liberal, don't you think?

I love the show and think it sends the right messages to our kids that war iss not something you want or something you like, but when you have to fight, you fight. It's a good show. I hope you will watch it again and not come in looking for a fight.

You don't understand how liberals see Islam. They don't see Muslims as imposing their faith on others. They only see Christianity as doing so or the Bush Administration as doing so.

So they are truly showing this as their world view sees it. They were simply Muslims before we came and desired to contain and kill them when necessary.
