I do agree that BBC coverage is superior and less biased, but I think that you're not looking at how biased it can be from the other side too. When there are extreme views, the truth tends to be between them. Those that were fleeing Kuwait on the highway of death were not, for the most part, innocent people. The majority of them were the very troops that had pillaged, looted, and raped Kuwait. They were fleeing, yes, but they were also going back to Iraq to defend it. Don't think for a minute that Saddam would ever give a reprieve during an advantage in battle due to lopsided losses on the enemies side.

Clinton sincerely tried to do exactly that, to bring something positive to his legacy. Arafat basically wanted everything he demanded, and wouldn't really make any conditions. It's sad, I almost think that Arafat was afraid what would happen if there was a real peace in Palestine.

The US has been seriously manipulated into thinking otherwise.
