I wouldn't really say the BBC is really that biased really. Even in the US as soon as thouse pics came out about abuse everyone lays into our forces(the british ones were later proved fake and done for the considrable amounts of money paid for them). Ok read this and then try to find some as biased on a western news agency.

Now thats total bullshit, bullshit of the highest order. Depends on your definition of historicly. Short term under a dictatorship yes they were united... the kurds weren't exactly too thrilled with it but nevermind. But if you look back past Hussein back as far a centurys they have always been fighting in that region(all the differnt tribes).
and
| quote: | | A look at the electoral process and the composition of the current national council reveals that the election's main mission will be to install some of the country's most notorious politicians who have constantly spoken proudly of their links to international intelligence agencies. |
Nice evidence (a look).... and in other reports the quote people only known as "an iraqi journalist" why not name your sources?
Look at the first source in a google search, starting on the first line.
| quote: | Whether it's the wisest decision or not - and it could be argued that it's not - the interim Iraqi government has set Jan. 30 for its first nationwide election since Saddam Hussein's regime was toppled. Discounting the mounting violence from insurgents intent on sabotaging it, Prime Minister Ayad Allawi is determined to hold the vote on that date.
For those aggressively promoting it, like the White House and Shia clerics, the hope is that the vote will mark a pivotal point in Iraq's postwar chaos, eroding support for the insurgency and giving Iraqis a sense of empowerment in shaping their future. But confronted with the ferocity of the insurgency's offensive to derail the balloting, those hopes seem increasingly evanescent. |
and
| quote: | | The real question is whether the election will be representative of Iraq's three main ethnic and religious groups or end up as just a partial referendum dominated by an overwhelming Shia majority. Right now, it looks lopsided at best. Shia groups have managed to subsume their considerable differences for now to unveil a unified list of 228 candidates from three major political parties for the 275 members of a national assembly. Some independent Sunni Muslims belonging to various tribal groups are included on the list, but no major Sunni political movement is included. A Shia Kurdish group (most Kurds are Sunni Muslims) is also on the candidates' list, and so is a small Turkomen movement. |

Which is more blanced? IMHO the second (US) source.
