I have been trying to keep my war news viewing down to 15 minutes a day or less. The Fox News Network has the best coverage - more variety at least, except I don't like the reporter who looks like one of the marionettes from "Thunderbirds". CNN shows the same sad sacks over and over, pretending it's something new. ABC has one of the cutest on-site reporters but I can't remember his name.We are an interesting bunch - able to watch a war blow-by-blow, and be informed of every possible spin on every possible story. I was pretty creeped out right at the beginning, the morning they attacked the maybe-it's-Saddam-group, when they kept the camera trained on the same part of Baghdad, waiting for something to happen. All I could think about was - here we are spying with our little eye on a place on the other side of the world, and all that is happening is that the dawn is making all the birds sing, and the dogs are barking at the loud bangs. I heard trucks driving by, and the sounds of folks stirring to life in the wee hours. It could have been anywhere, could have been us.
