God Bless America !!

It is mind boggling that the Media delivers Death and Destruction news out of Iraq very swiftly but rarely provides pictures of the great service our young Marines and Armed Forces are performing in Iraq as well as Afghanistan.

Our Forces and Medical Teams are doing a great job helping out Iraqis,restoring power and other essential services and there are,I am positive many Iraqis who are grateful for the services we are providing.Instead of showing and featuring positive stories the Media revels and trumpets the rare torture and abuse stories damaging the morale of the forces and pits the Locals against our Armed forces and places US in a defensive posture with the Arab World.

I understand that the Press and TV is not a propaganda arm of the US Government but surely the American Media which enjoys the Freedom and privileges of the American society must inform the American Public the great good which our forces are performing.

Consistently reporting the darker side to the US public naturally has turned Public opinion against the War.

The media is performing a great disservice to the American Public by taking sides and doing one sided reporting and creating an atmosphere of doom and gloom in every aspect be it the Financial sector,climate,War in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Iranian belligerence.

Why I wonder why? Who are they serving and to what end?

No wonder the Newspapers are seeing decline in readership and the Network News has shown consistent declines in viewers.

I see America as a force for Good and it is imperative we the People be more outspoken about the greatness this country contributes and has contributed in the past without ever occupying a single acre of land abroad.!!

We the people need to be more aggressive in promoting and highlighting US contributions which keep this world going and have never looked for credit but it is time to stand up and speak and let our Media and the American Bashers realize the harm they are causing to our children by presenting a distorted picture of this great Country - Long Live USA and God Bless America !
