(You will never see a program like this on American television! -RD)

Jeremy Paxman will chair a special programme exploring whether the allies are guilty of war crimes.

The programme, to be broadcast on Wednesday, 14 December will take the form of a trial, with advocates arguing the case for the prosecution and defence with the help of witness and expert testimony. (1 hour)

1. As long as we have the bigger military we will be guilty of not one

damn thing... not one damn thing. Pitiful... just frigging pitiful.

3. one damn thing after another

we ( the pentagon) has spent almosy 1/2 a trillion dollars on this stupid war.

4. Look at it this way.... the U.S. has spent trillions of dollars, untold

lives and resources to make the world in its own image... and still, just look at the problems in the world that have NOT BEEN ADDRESSED by our constant overt and covert meddling in world affairs.... just look at the waste, we are a wasteful wasteful nation. We have blown the chance to be a real example to the world and instead have demonstrated what goes wrong when too much power is concentrated in any one place.

2. could be interesting

Paxman is a tough one

5. He's tough, but tonight the lawyers, witnesses and audience are tougher.

Also, there are a lot of brutal new facts in this show I'd never heard of before, For example, I had no idea that we have terror camps not just in Eastern Europe but also in Indonesia.
