I just don't understand the war and what is really happening and I don't know who to believe. Please share and tell me where your info is from. I avoid all news about it at this point because it is so confusing and
depressing, but I like to be informed.

Also, please don't flame at eachother please...

I'm guessing you are referring to the invasion and occupation of Iraq. If so, you may want to start here:

Thanks Rowan'sdad.
I tend to read the Christain Science Monitor because I was told by soldiers it was doing a good job with their coverage.

This is why the War & Politics forum was so useful. Because, after all, there is a war still going on......

newcastlemama, I reckon if you want to be informed, then you have to prepare to feel depressed & confused.
: I'm not nearly so well informed as I used to be about this issue, but my main sources of info are: various ABC (Aus) programmes, SBS (Aus), The Australian (newspaper), Independent Online (UK), NYT online... & various other random sources that pop up now & again.

I think most of them are pretty okay most of the time when it comes to finding out facts. I'd like to think my bullsh!t meter is set to a fairly sensitive level, but I don't know that I would trust any one source of info.
