I don't know if this is real or just a joke.

If it is real that is pretty fukd up.

For comments regarding the middle east just put in mind not all the middle east is like this. Countries like Lebanon are pretty pro western and and you can do pretty much whatever you want.

Don't think all middle eastern countries take your rights etc...

I don't mean any disrespect to the western culture but for ex in Lebanon we can smoke in restaurants, smoke in public, drink in public, drive without a license, we don't have to obey traffic lights, we don't pay tax, we can drive boats in the ocean without a permit or anything, there are no age restricted items in stores. I can go on pretty much forever but you get the point.

When i hear George Bush talking about the war in Lebanon and talking about the war between "Terror and Democracy" i am thinking wtf because we were able to do whatever we felt like over there without the government breathing down our necks.

I am not saying this government propoganda is right in Iran but it isn't to say it is without a reason. From what i know during the Iran/Iraq war America provided Iraq with weapons etc... to be used on the Iranian people.

I know America has it's own propoganda machine with CNN and FOX news as i remember when the conflict in Lebanon started there was a headline in CNN saying "HEZBOLLAH IN AMERICA!!" and i was thinking wtf.

When i read people's comments like Hydra, and Ironwarrior just wanting to kill people in the middle east it just makes me wonder what kind of media the US is subjected to.

I'm from the middle east, I'm from Lebanon and you don't see me spouting "Death to America" or "Death to Israel" everywhere i go but yet i see many Americans spouting "Death to the middle east".

I don't know how real this cartoon is as i haven't seen anything like it on television but if it is real that is really fukd up. It can't be very different than what we see here in the west if so many people just want to kill middle eastern people as the hate is fueled on both sides.

My point? Have any of you been to countries like Lebanon or anywhere in the middle east?

If no. Why, just why do you people comment about rights and whatnot?

I've lived in Lebanon pretty much all my life and i lived in Canada (which i'm going to assume has about the same level of rights in the US). In Canada i can't even have a discussion about the middle east without cops knocking at my door, how can we say we have more rights in the west than in the middle east?

Information aside, i do agree that these iranian cartoons are fukd up and whoever made them should just crawl in a hole and die but i do not agree with these ignorant comments that ALL people in the middle east have no rights.
