Did anyone see the clip of Mickey Mouse cartoon in the middle east singing to the children that all Americans must die.
It was soo sick and sad to watch these kids and mickey pretending to shoot americans.
A friend of mine said if they hate us so much why are they using our character?

Kids feel familiar with mickey mouse all over the world, so it's just a good tactic to make use of that in trying to influence them. The kids will simply want to watch mickey mouse and have fun whilst the groups behind it are trying to get future fighters out of it.

It doesn't surprise me because there are many things we do here that many seem bad to others. Do you have the website where we can watch the Mickey Mouse singing? I am just curious to see it as I didn't hear anything about it and I have never seen the clip. I think Mickey Mouse is an international symbol (just like Disney Land--they have Euro Disney in fact and one in Japan as well! So I believe Mickey is an international icon now). It is pretty ironic as you were saying, they are using the American creation to hate on America, but they do happen to do that (example: burning an American flag, for example).
