Innocence Biased?

As I look back to our class posts since week 1, I noticed that many people stated their opinions and have also done much research into articles. One thing remains throughout this thread and that is our personal judgement. We all have different feelings about different subjects and matters. This is weaved into our thoughts and actions. One person may agree that the war in Iraq is not something the United States should be involved in and others the opposide. The media has the ablitity to appeal to our biased nature. Media sources try to be un-biased but someone sometime must make a decison on what is "news" and what they want their audience to see. The audience only sees what the media wants to show and ususally we only remember what we want to remember. Humans related with past experiences and memories, but the tricky thing about that is sometimes our memory is contoured by what we want to feel about a situation. Memory has the power to mislead our connotaions of what really has happened. With this war, many of us have mixed emotions, most likey because at the time we decided to invade Iraq all we could remember was all the negativity on what happended on 9/11. Our nation wanted to show terrorist that we would not tolerate them. But infact, we also are terrorizing the innocence bystanders in Iraq, that are forced to live knowing that at any second they could be involved in the crossfire. If this war was in our country, I feel the table would be turned but I think on both sides of this ordeal know what it is like living in fear of what will happen next.
