Iron Maiden singer and qualified pilot Bruce Dickinson airlifted 200 British citizens who had fled war torn Beirut, Lebanon, back to the United Kingdom yesterday. The 47-year-old flew a Boeing 757 to Cyprus where he picked up the evacuees and flew them back to London's Gatwick Airport.

I see the same words in every article I read about the middle east: "terrorist," "isreal," "olmert," "hizbollah". The mainstream media always leaves out "heavy metal," "iron maiden," "bruce dickenson" and "wicked awesome guitar solo".

What's up with that?
