Lead Stories on Al Jazeera TV

These were the top three lead stories on the English version of Al Jazeera TV today, in this exact order:
1. The shooting of 20 people by a deranged man in Arizona;
2. Plane crash in Iran kills at least 70 people;
3. First day of voting in Southern Sudan (on secession) goes smoothly.
       It's interesting to begin to grasp how people in other parts of the world perceive America, and why some are fearful.
       I realize that some of you reading this will disagree with me strongly, and might wonder why I am watching Al Jazeera TV (it comes on PBS at 5pm on Sundays here). So let's be gracious with each other even as we might disagree. I will try to do the same.
