    I guess Vonnegut didn't add nothing more interesting to what's been said before about this upcoming war...

    but somehow I dig his point of view:

I guess you mean the fine arts. I hope you mean the fine arts. ... Anybody practicing the fine art of composing music, no matter how cynical or greedy or scared, still can’t help serving all humanity. Music makes practically everybody fonder of life than he or she would be without it. Even military bands, although I am a pacifist, always cheer me up ..."

    something good at least around in alternative to BBC or CNN

    thanks Sauce.
