Yeah...the Iraqi shoe thrower (and the thousands or millions of Iraqis who agreed with him) were inspired by the Hamas children's video and not the discontent from a 5-year US occupation and all the associated adverse consequences.

WTF? Its not like this "inspiration" as you call it, is a new thing. The manner used is keeping up with technology and is probably going to be far more effective in corrupting the minds of their future generations. I would think its a lot easier to get young children to watch these shows than it is to make them go to temple for umpteen hours a day.

Gee....that went right over my head


My point is that internal Muslim propaganda and US policies and actions are not mutually exclusive in how they might impact the perceptions/resentments against the US.

To ignore the fact that our policies and actions are perceived in ways with which we might not agree is just hiding out heads in the sand.

But dux, this video has nothing to do with perception of the US.

Why must you constantly change the discussion?

Do you have that stuff in a copy/paste buffer or something?

I thought resurrecting a 2-year old post was related to the more recent dicussions.

Sorry, I didnt understand that you just posted the hamas video again out of the blue.
