Do you think if 4 bombs had gone off today in London

[yvr girl]

or Ottawa or Paris it would have made the lead story in the news?

[MissB]

1. American press?

That is debatable.

[Cha]

3. Not if it preempted Martha or Michael..

Or the runaway bride.

[babylonsister]

2. That would probably have been the story before Iraq,

but after the runaway bride. :eyes:

[Cha]

4. This is like World War II in England..

for Iraq..the bombs are just not coming from the planes.

5. I'm not so sure

There was a time in the early 80s where bombs were going off quite frequently in London. I only knew about it because a relative was living there at the time. She even witnessed a nail bomb going off that nearly hit one of her friends. Nothing much in the news over here.

Anything that happens "regularly" is not news, it's the same old, same old.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

6. Probably, remember the Madrid train bombings did.

[whistle]

7. Not to bump the runaway bride story.....

[MountainLaurel]

8. In a furrin' country?

Who cares about those commie pinko Europeans, with their free healthcare, 35-hour workweeks, subsidized childcare, and month of vacation a year?

Isn't there a NASCAR race or a playoff game today?

:sarcasm:

[Jack Rabbit]

9. No

Not on CNN, anyway.
