The majority of the Amanpour viewers complimented and appreciated the video titled “Swimming in Stuff” by environmentalist activist/consumerist critic, Annie Leonard.  The video was thought by most to contain all the necessary elements that detailed human consumption, waste and recycling.  Praise for the facts narrated, the “powerful” information shared and the video’s creativity were extended.  Lastly, many viewers felt this was a great “presentation choice” by Amanpour and her team.

Christian – excellent choice of subject.
ref story of stuff
1. two-thirds to 99% of what almost all humans do is in efficicient, unproductive, useless rubbish
2. almost all humans are idiots and idiots can only relate to stupidity. The idiots only understand capital allocation to useless consumption of wealth rather than capital allocation to creation of wealth
3. The creation to consumption ratio of any entity determines its level on the evolutionary scale. The more evolved an entity the higher its creation to consumption ratio (i.e it creates more & consumes less)

The feedback received through emails focused on two topics, the interview with Mosab H. Yousef, the son of Hamas, and its “fascinating essence”, as viewers described it.  The second discussion was the professed admiration for the documentary Scream Bloody Murder that continued to receive compliments by most. In Facebook, viewers zoomed into the relationship the film Hurt Locker had with women candidates in Iraqi elections.  The social media conversation began with wishes for women around the globe for a “happy International Women’s day” which turned into support for women that took and conquered leadership roles internationally, using as an example the Hurt Locker director, Kathryn Bigelow.  Many recognized the challenges for women ahead, but overall a sense of solidarity accompanied most commentary.

Christiane:  If China is clearly signaling that it won't go along with the sanctions the U.S. is calling for isn't it time to seek a completely new approach to the Iran problem?  Given the enormous amount of American debt China holds, don't we have essentially zero leverage to get China to see things our way?  If the sanction remedy for dealing with Iran is blocked does that make war more or less likely?  What can be done to avoid war?  Finally, if Israel starts a war with Iran will the U.S. have to join it?

I am thankful that a Muslim knows what one day the whole world will know, there is only one God and He is not Allah.  Only God can change a heart by a faith in Jesus who paid for all sin.  Jesus The Lord and creator of all things says recieve the Truth and love one another to go to Heaven, NOT kill and hate and go to Heaven.  The devil thru false religions is destroying many because they refuse to receive the one TRUTH, yet it is available to everyone who will believe the Bible is true

The interview with Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a founder of Hamas who claimed he became a spy for Israel's domestic security service proved exceptionally popular.  Religion controlled all discussions Amanpour viewers shared regarding this interview.  Emotions grew strong as viewers exchanged their clearly favored point of view, especially in Facebook.  In addition, peace continued to be the desired outcome among a few, who felt it was “still attainable.”  Lastly, record amount of emails received concerning one topic that many considered a revelation, the documentary Scream Bloody Murder which, was described as “absolutely riveting and breathtaking!”

No levelheaded, peace loving human being want to see proliferation of nuclear weapons. While Iran is in the 'hot seat', one could not help but wonder why isnt there any scrutiny on the Israelis? Its incomprehensible to see a how a 'probably nuclear armed nation' driving the effort to pressure a 'potentially nuclear ambitious nation'. Because of this unfairness, we, in the west have no moral standing to lecture Iran.

Dear Christiane:
The foreign relations committee in Congress sticks it to a NATO ally and friend by passing a resolution condemning the Ottoman Empire for genocide!  Is this how corrupt the political system has become that they would do such incredible damage to Turkish – American relations just to garner Armenian political contributions and votes?  Is this how disdainful they are towards their Party leader President Obama, that they would ignore his appeals and make him look ineffective and weak! Not to mention reinforcing perceptions in the Middle East that the U.S. is still an arrogant and out-of-touch power.  We are talking about the Ottoman Empire, you know, not modern Turkey!  How would the American Government feel if some European country or NATO ally condemned them for the genocide they committed to the American Indian, which is more horrific than anything the Ottoman's did. Hope you will report on how the Islamic government in Turkey is moving to undermine secularism by buying votes and stacking the judiciary and military with Fethullah. Thank you for an excellent show and outstanding reporting.

Religion continued to play the main role in the discussions Amanpour viewers shared regarding the interview with Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a founder of Hamas who claimed he became a spy for Israel's domestic security service. Raw emotions were exchanged among viewers that clearly favored one side or the other. Furthermore, although peace was mentioned a few times as the desired outcome, pride for the religion these viewers practiced came first according to their commentary.

Ehud Barack will not (cannot) say anything about the assassination, but you can bet this story is unfolding exactly as the Israelis planned and wanted.
After all, they sent an entire platoon to Dubai–27 people–to take out one guy. And supposedly left fingerprints in the hotel room? Come on. These guys were pros. The only reason there were fingerprints is because they wanted to leave them.
They were not only eliminating an arms supplier to terrorists, they were sending a message to their enemies: "We can, and will, send an entire platoon anywhere in the world to strike you down. You're not safe anywhere on the planet."

The exclusive interview with Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak continued to cause waves among many Amanpour viewers who expressed mixed commentary about the situation as a whole.  Additionally, the audience offered their views on whether the NATO forces should stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the reactions highlighted extreme thoughts about the “nationalism” that for some, still existed in the country, and for others it never did.

In response to Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak's assertions, I have attempted to point out that he was very disingenuous:
During Israel’s assault on Gaza, “Cast Lead, ” there were no grounds for claiming the right of self-defense (a defensive last resort necessary to protect her people) as Israel was not the object of a Hamas attack.  Hamas is blamed for breaking the ceasefire, but Hamas had strictly observed the ceasefire until it was violated by Israel on Nov. 4 when Israel launched an air strike into Gaza that killed 6 and injured several others.  Israel continues settlement expansion in the West Bank. (You Tube – Who Broke The Cease Fire – Hamas or Israel 2008)  Crude rockets present no real threat to Israel.  Hamas won an election that was judged by many distinguished people to be fair and just.  It is in the best interest of that region to recognize Hamas and deal with them diplomatically.  The U.S. pushed for the election and cannot ignore the outcome!   In the past, Israel supported Hamas against Fatah.   Israel played a significant role in encouraging Hamas' emergence.  Now Israel has switched sides and encourages Fatah.  Obviously, Hamas and Fatah are not the problem, Jews are the problem!  The American people are tired of the Jew problem.  We are mad as hell.  Richard Goldstone has restored credibility to Jews who seek justice and condemn the pernicious, abhorrent monstrous behavior of Israeli thugs who murdered so many innocent Palestinian children and civilians.  America cannot tolerate being  made complicit in such evil.  I believe that Mr. Goldstone should also include members of Congress who supported a resolution to support Israel's terrorist attack on Gaza among the war criminals.  I did find it troubling that Ehud Barak, Israeli Defense Minister, misrepresented the facts of the Camp David Peace Talks July 11, 2000 and Annapolis, Maryland where a 44-nation Middle East peace conference with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President MAHMOUD ABBAS took place, to no avail.

The economic crisis in Spain had Amanpour viewers speculating about the best approach to tackle this situation from the citizens’ perspective.  Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos’ statements generated a wave of mixed commentary with both, positive and negative opinions by viewers who felt his strategy “wasn’t clear.”  Some compared the situation in Spain to Greece and added “Spain was headed down the same path.”

Isabel إيزابيل Perez uf! in Spain they deceived us – no matter who was in the power- they disguised the real situation with false information, they concealed an appalling rate of unemployment... I'd say: Yes, we are in the same path as the Greece. The worst situation is for the youth and those who are in their 50's.... So, which was Mr. Moratinos's answer?

Most of the Amanpour audience all over the world felt their local media “was not” reliable as a whole.  Comments for the most part, reflected disappointment and discouragement toward the local media coverage in their country and many thought their reporting did not include all angles of the stories presented.  Several viewers took this topic as an opportunity to show their appreciation for CNN and applauded their “unbiased broadcast”, the Amanpour show was among the most trusted shows according to these viewers.  Lastly, some referred to the internet as the “most reliable” source because it kept people around the world abreast of situations the media “did not cover” in its entirety.

Deborah J. Boyd Well, in Washington, DC we really do not have much "local" press. I usually depend on PBS and CNN for serious coverage.
