I can't understand why they would hate us

[FS]

It's more than we're doing, true, but I wouldn't exactly call it time well spent. It's kind of in the realm of making Flash clips about Saddam or Osama getting violently killed, and I consider that kind of petty (though I must admit I've done it myself, just after I'd gotten Flash).

The whole business with Al-Jazeera got me thinking about double standards. I mean, I honestly don't want to piss anyone off about this, but especially over the past few years, I see dead people in warzones on the news all the time. Hell, I can't count the amount of times I've seen the footage of dead Iraqis from the last time Saddam gassed his own people on TV over the past weeks. If that's allowed, why is it such a shock when American or British bodies are showed - by a non-US or British channel?

However, I'd like to state that I don't mean it should be allowed - in fact, I'd prefer eitherway that dead bodies may not be shown on the news. It has nothing to do with finding it too gruesome, I just find it disrespectful. Always.
