"American media and culture infiltrate the airwaves of the entire Middle East," said CBS Evening News executive producer Jim Murphy. "It’s one of the reasons conservatives there are so upset."

Fortunately for Iraq, they aren't completely desensitized to the crap that hollywood puts out.

Iraq is going to have to find their own balance between individual freedom and what society and government deems as harmful to society.

Even in the US there still remain decency laws. They continually get weakened. But we still prosecute child pornographers, public nudity, etc.

We should be prosecuting the makers of Will and Grace, but our collective standards have sunk so low, that we now tolerate the corrosive influence of the media in the name of tolerance.

In America, it seems, we simply resort to encouraging individuals to change the channel and encouraging parents to place controls on the TV and internet and picking up the shattered pieces of society when Hillary's village raises it's warped children.

Iraq will find a balance, and hopefully it's one that they can live with. I wish them wisdom in their endeavor.
