Of course... you neglect to include that the napalm used in that incident was dropped by ARVN upon their own people, and not by the US military.
But then... what place does honesty and accuracy have in one of your posts, when there is sensationalism to be had? I mean... when have you EVER stood up and given equal objection to ANYTHING that terrorists or Islamic extremists have ever done, when you can spew forth your hatred towards America, whether based in your perversion of facts, or your extreme prejudice?
Al Jazeera make Fox News look trustworthy…
Anyway that ITN link hardly presents any proof of the US using napalm? As of yet the claims against the US are unsubstantiated. If the allegations turn out to be true I like most here will believe the US to be in the wrong. I won’t however like some of you here criticise the US for doing something in Iraq which hasn’t even been credibly proven…
Tell me, which democratic state do you hate more freethepeeps America or Israel?
And knowing that the US admitted using napalm in Iraq last year still doesn't affect your thinking?
Its quite something, while 800 civilians are being killed for a whole number of Iraqis to suddenly start having delusions that people were being burned with phosporous, and that the burning got worse when water was put on it......
Can you give me an example of some dodgy reporting by Al Jazeera? I'm quite happy to give you reams of Fox dodginess, but I've yet to come across proof that Al Jazeera lies.....
As to your question about Israel and America, well, I'd have to plump for the USofA - they've done shedloads more killing, bullying and war crimes.
Napalm is still being used...get over it
Seriously, when our government are so ready to play with the lives of it's citizens for polical gain, I find myself half-wanting to engage in, to put it mildly, civil disobedience. It's hard to think of a way of doing so, though, which won't imperil lives (even a hoax bomb alert diverts services that could be saving lives elsewhere), or get one banged up in jail under the new laws. But when it's so obvious that the forthcoming general election can't be a mandate for approval or otherwise of the invasion of Iraq, because there will be so many different issues deciding our votes, the temptation to practise a bit of direct democracy is always nagging away in the background.
It's sad when citizens of a country which boasts the 'mother of paliaments' feel that their so-called representatives no longer represent them anymore, and have to make thenselves heard by other means. Puts me in mind of that Elvis Costello ditty about looking forward to the death of Maggie: 'I never thought for a moment/ that human life could be so cheap/ but when they finally put you in the ground/ I'll stand there laughing, and tramp the dirt down'.

Hi Eileen and welcome......
We're lucky enough to know that nearly half (and maybe even more than half) of those who voted are anti-Bush .....
Sadly the majority of Americans who come here are harldine Bushites - hopefully you'll stick around and remind us of the dissent
Al Jazeera is top notch.
Hi Eileen
Nice to a New Yorker here. Welcome to the board, we've had very democrats here, so look forward to speaking with you.
So sad...
Love this ’free’ ‘equal’ State education?

The supreme hypocrisy of the neo-cons is, as always, astonishing.
