DJ, look at the picture, the expression looks rather blank on the guy throwing in the money, and basically we often do have a plan to give money to charities and the rest of the aid machine, however getting the aid (money -> useful stuff) to those that actually need it can be very difficult. The point of my post was that I could be upset by the comments and images and could go on a warpath... we all find things that upset us, personally I don't find much offensive (I am an overweight computer geek, being thick skinned helps), however I could easily find things in the links you posted that would make me theoretically upset.
What is happening in the world right now? That truly depends on the spin you place on events. Personally I do feel that removing Saddam was the right choice, ok it should have been done years ago but at least its done, pulling out right now would be silly as it would leave a country in a very vulnerable stage and likely lead to someone similar to Saddam reexerting power except with plans to not get ousted. What else is happening in the region? Israel/Palestine truly depends on which side of that fence you stand, I stand with Israel (even if they claim they want to wipe me out they haven't acted on it yet!). Iran making inroads towards a nuclear enrichment program? I think anyone can see why people are objecting to that, Iran are not know as the most enlightened government in the world, and having access to nuclear material that may fall into terrorist hands is pretty scary, I could easily build the rest of the bomb, the delivery system and any incidentals, the only hard part of making a nuke now adays is getting the materials for the fission/fusion.
Ok our media is perhaps slanted against the Arab/Muslim world, however theirs is no better towards us. All my point was is basically that someone can take offense at anything, to censor everything that may cause offense would well, well I suppose we should just kill everyone now because we might offend in the future.
