i was watching tv today, and i watching the iraq channel, when i saw an anti-terrorist cartoon, it showed 3 men walking into an abandoned building, they looked real wicked and evil. This one guy goes up to the building, sees what they are doing, then informs everyone. The police and the rest of the people go back to the people and capture them.
I was shocked when i saw this cartoon. I do, however, have mixed feelings about it. One, if it is truly from the Iraqi people, then I truly am happy that they are trying to stop all this foolishness. However, i have a strong feeling telling me that it might now be them, but US that made that cartoon for them. Why you might ask? I don't know if any of you have heard, but most of the channels there now are either being regulated, or controlled by the US.
Please, i don't want any flamming here

You're right! Iraqis actually like being bombed, maimed, and murdered by suicide bombers! They love them! They would never make cartoons discouraging that sort of behavior because Iraqis love to die by the hands of bloodthirsty Islamic terrorists.
Also, the Iraqi media is not controlled by the US, but the US has been known to buy space and put positive stories in the papers.

Then what difference does it make whether it was made by Iraqis or Americans?

Iraq, as a soveriegn state, should be able to make whatever kind of cartoon it wants. The US shouldn't be controlling the media.

But surely they should be allowed to suggest things? It would be pretty odd if the USA couldn't put on a French film like Amilie, or a British film like Lock Stock every now and then. I admit it's probably propaganda, but we are at war with Iraq (or at least certain sections of the population) so we're pretty much justified doing something as non-controversial as this.

OH NO! you have encurred the wrath of the MoralLibertarian!
I don’t really see what the problem is. How many Iraqi people would really disagree with the message, even if it was from the United States? How many honest hard working people want someone to bring a big expensive firefight into their neighborhood? They are people too; all they really want is to worship their gods, to live comfortable lives, and to ensure that their children have a good start. Many of the people that dont like the US also probably hate the terrorists, and would like the idea of a large group of them being stopped from causing any more disruptive attacks.
the faster we learn that we are really all the same, the faster we will have world unity.

Not a surprise......at all......
It's not US run, I can almost 80% assure it.

As much as the insurgents don't like the US, they don't like the Terrorists any better, and they're willing to fiight Al-Qaeda.
Nobody wants to die, an anti-terrorist cartoon in Iraq is more than likely Iraqi in origin, given by the fact that even the insurgents are fighting terrorists.......

Depends, can they actually animate it?
I know some of the cartoons from Palestines aren't exactly great quality, they're talents in the animated field are very similar to the early 70s and 60s in the Canadian animation industry (we have TEH best animators in the world)
I mean, if it looked like something that Warner Brothers did, it was probably american made. But just because it was drawn by americans, didn't mean they wrote the script or produced.
