Land of the brave?
The United States have through history been a standfast defender of democratic principles. They have saved our asses from facism in WW2, they have defended us against the Soviet Union during the cold war and they have been spearheading the fight against islamo-facist terrorism.
But where are our American allies now?
Well the mainstream US-media (even the ones who claim they are not the main-stream) seems to be in hiding.
So far only one single minor newspaper have printed the pictures that everybody seems to have an oppinion about in the Arab world but which only few have seen.
So is it really that kind of news-coverage that the US newspapers want, a newsstory where you dont even know how the pictures look that are being critizised?
Sure the tech-savy people like you who read this right now know ways to see the images, but one should not underestimate that the old-fashined massmedia still is the absolute mainsource of information for most people in the world.
Therefore it is apart from extremely covardize also extremely irresponsible when newspapers, tv-stations (even Fox News who otherwise are less afraid of controversy than for example CNN) dont show the really pretty harmless drawings that the islamists use as an excuse for creating this crisis.
So until CNN and the rest of the mainstream-media in the US quite the dhimmi-like behaviour the public in the US have to resort to the vast blogosphere around the world.

The US media did not make this gaffe, nor is it their responsibility to correct. The publishing of the cartoon was an error made by an insensitive party whose culture, clearly, is homogeneous. The US could not condone this and will not be pulled into a terrible error on the guilty side.

Here is an excellent article:

I must agree that I find it as the author here says both irresposible and cowardice that the US media dont show the pictures when they tell the story.

US has allways been cowards, unless the migthy dollar is involved, but next time the cowboys want us to take sides with them...They shouldent be surpriced when we tell then to go fuck themselves.
