The Iraq War and its various elements eg. the trial of Saddam Hussein.
Incidentally, the July bombings were not in 2006, and in what parrallel universe do you live in if you think the biggest TV audience determines the most important news event? That would make X Factor the news event of the weekend (in the UK).

I think the ongoing problems with the radical muslims have been a big part of my news year. The cartoons of the prophet Mohammed and the completely over the top reactions to them. People died for fu*ks sake! Over a cartoon! (However, an Arabic newspaper was running a cartoon competition taking the piss out of the holocaust, but, of course, its OK for them to do it.) Also the comments from the Pope being taken out of context and twisted by certain groups resulting in churches being burned down in Muslim countries and the shooting of an elderly nun - in the back. Cowards. So many more issues regarding radical Islam too, veils/burqua, faith schools etc etc. And its only going to get worse. Hold onto your hats for an even more terrorised 2007.

It's too early to say. So much crap has happened this year that I need to wait until 12-31-06 @ 11:59 p.m just so I can be sure that I don't speak too soon!

JOHN....the London bombings were in 2005.
Today's story is Tony Blair apologising for the slave trade.
How can we make amends? Open the doors, let them all in, and keep them in the lap of luxury at our expense?
Do you think they will be grateful?

Global warming. The enviroment. Everything else is just to distract you from the fact that our planet will be lifeless in ten years.
