Re: OT - passing resemblance or not?

If you research it online, there's photos that show it's likely a Dubai skyline being depicted.
I personally think it's unfortunate that people have to blow up/perpetuate nonsense like this.
As I said to someone last night.. even if it WERE intentionally a reference to 9/11, it's a can in that country. Doesn't matter what company makes the can. I'm sure we depict stuff that "insults" people in other parts of the world all.the.time. Whatever.
Here's the irony. So, we say it's insulting. Okay. But we were over there getting rid of oppressive/dangerous leadership. What do we represent? Freedoms. What do we do when we don't like what someone else does that we PERCEIVE to be something offensive (and may not even BE offensive)? We look to OPPRESS it. Totally ironic. Soooo you can be free and blah blah blah AS LONG AS it doesn't piss us off. THEN, watch out, cuz we're gonna try and suppress it. Hysterical really when you think about it.
Here's a thought. They're coming out of how many years of war? Perhaps the image is about their GROWTH. Their HEALTH. Their REBUILDING as a country. How about that? Maybe it represents the strength of their cities, of industry, whatever. Maybe it's just a positive message for them. And maybe? Just maybe? The entire planet doesn't revolve around one event, that happened on day, here. Here's a newsflash, the world doesn't revolve around U.S.
