She's a nutcase, clearly.

But what's a "conservative" newspaper like the Telegraph giving space to such drivel?

I suspect it's because even among so-called conservative Brits there's a huge readership for anti-Americanism.

Really, the Telegraph should tout itself as the conservative/socialist newspaper.....not just as a "conservative" newspaper.

You had better go back and read the comments I've already made on this thread.

And btw..stop pinging me (or I will report abuse). You are starting to sound ANAL!

You have no clue at all do you? You think conservatives shouldn't read this stuff? Ever hear the phrase 'Know thine enemy'?

Incidentally it's an indication of the American public's inability for critical thought, if you believe a conservative paper can't publish something like this (written as an opinion piece by a novelist (not a staff columnist)).

This happens all the time dearie. Do try read a few more newspapers.

Very True, WaterDragon.

After all there is not much difference between the nutcase, leftist, ranter and the "news" report in the Telegraph regarding what happened at Fallujah, which was described as follows:

"Last week, Americans killed 15 people - among them two young boys - at Fallujah, an impoverished Shia area 30 miles west of Baghdad - when locals became angry at their occupation of the local school. Though the US troops say they fired in self-defence - and may well have done so - television footage of bleeding Iraqis, clearly unarmed, lying on the roads, have shocked Western viewers."

It appears that our "conservative friends" in Britain are highly skeptical about whether or not American troops would fire on unarmed protesters for no reason whatsoever. That certainly indicates a general bias against our troops, fanned by the Telegraph in multiple articles.

Neither the leftist ranter nor the reporter mention anything about AK_47s found in the area around the shootings or the fact that folks in the area later threw grenades over the wall of the compound where the troops were staying, wounding many of our troops.
