Read your Spiegel and consider yourself well informed.

This sort of story seldom makes their news. But a story about a video game which NO major merchant carries in the US. Do you understand that? NO major merchant has this game on their shelf. I never even heard of this game until "Der Spiegel" wrote about it, and I game on occasion and live in the US. In fact, no one I know, ever hear of this game yet it makes their COVER PAGE! Why, is what you should ask. But people like you, who question everything and are such "critical thinkers" when in your group practicing group think, and patting each other on the back with such intelectual idea's like "Iraq was only for oil" seldom seem to do that because after all, you're hearing what you like to hear and want to believe.
Der Spiegel is secular, it's ultra liberal, and they are anti-American, no matter how much you attempt to deny it. Both "what" they pick to report on and "how" they spin their articles is consistent with my statement. But you can believe what you want.
First of all, I do not like to pat my male cothinkers...
Second, this made front page in the internet edition, category 'networld'.
Third, yes: The 'Spiegel' IS ultra liberal and seular, but it's not what I would call decidedly anti-american. Of course it is when you read David's Medienkritik. But what DM leaves out is the noticeable portion of pro-american (or pro-conservative) views the magazine prints.
Fourth: Stop putting words in my mouth. What I said ON THIS BOARD in 2003 is that starting Iraq with Afghanistan unfinished is unwise and may lead to more Chaos than is good for the West. I never started a materialist debate, because I well knew this war would be very expensive either way.
