What's funny? Did I say I was concerned? Nope.

If you need people to support the U.S cause, things like this don't help - events like these are so potent in swaying public opinion that it helps the other side greatly. Just like it didn't help those guys that flew the planes into the buildings - They became public enemy number 1 straight after 9/11.

I mean shit does happen in war, etc etc, and something like this WOULD have happened to any other nation in the same situation....but the media has so much control over public opinion, almost more control than politicians themselves, they're the ones who sway events a certain way.
