At least the BBC have had the decency to show some concern for the dead in Iraq. What about Fox? They are just screaming how the Americans have done well and how George W Bush is saving the world by invading Iraq. No mention of all the lives that have been lost (650 Americans amongst them). What about these lives? What has been achieved? Absolutely nothing, except sending a country into chaos. The REAL enemy is still out there....look at the recent events in Spain!
Don't even attempt to put Fox up against the BBC when discussing fairness and impartiality. Any of the mainstream U.S. TV channels could be used for comparison but not the flag waving moronic propaganda outlet for the U.S. Republican party.

3. "There" is a demonstrative pronoun. You want the reflexive pronoun "their."
4. Your sentence should end with a period.
