I have my own sense of humor (usually twisted) and my own opinions of America and America's leaders. I keep that separate from my position on other countries using images of America and our leadership for their own amusement. They can do what they want, of course, but I won't think it's humorous. Just like many people in other countries don't find humor in the things being said of their countries and leaders by Americans.

Which is worse...making fun of political leaders who can get you this lifetime or religious figures (Jesus or Mohammed) that can get you in the next (or after) life...
