I'd like some opinions for a school project. - Jedward - 2010-04-01
Watch this video and post some reactions. It's pretty old, but.. eh.
You don''t need to take a side, just post what you think about it.

I question how well of a sample this is of what's actually aired. The part with the kid killing Bush is a little weird. Mixed feelings about doing something about this, if it is a good sample. On one hand, this promotes terrorism, which is a bad thing. On the other, its their country, and I can't fully back changing their way of life because we don't like it.

Where do we draw the line between ignorance and invasion of culture, then? A similar situation has happened before, which didn't go quite well.. *points to WWII*

I'm not sure what sort of opinions you seek. Opinions about what we think of the children's exposure to violence?
Anyway, by raising the children to accept violence as an honorable act, they breed pure solid soldiers. These men aren't going to hold back and think "If i kill the poor guy, his wife, kids and parents arent ever gunna see him again" before he kills. He's gunna think not only is he doing his people justice, he's also releasing the evil person from their deeds. Faith and honor are quite powerful two combinations. Just so happens they understand this and decided to utilize these as a weapon.

I think the line is clear. Imposing on another country's culture should only be done as retaliation for having your own culture imposed upon. This could mean that the world may be asked to ignore localized tragedies. For example, if prior to World War II, Germany had confined its genocide within its own borders, then the world would have had no need to impose on Germany's "culture" regardless of how horrible it was. Germany's conquest into other regions, however, was problematic, and the world was required to react in some way.
If the material in this video had just been "We hate America. Praise Allah!", then honestly it would be fine. However, materials such as this are developing soldiers who are actively invading other countries and attempting to destroy culture there that is not their own. We have every right to intervene and are doing so.

I didn't watch the video, but what I have to say is that your eyes are the media. You have no idea what it's like there, and the majority of that culture isn't about bombing or terrorism or anything. Sure, it's pretty religious, but they are people like you and me, just generally looked at differently because a minority is a violent, cruel organization. They're muslim, so they must be here to kill us! That's not true.

While Clinton is talking about propaganda the Islamic people are using on their children, she herself is using propaganda. For all we know, those videos might not be representative of the population's media, and are just used to bolster her argument in a cheap way.
