Does the US try to piss others off?

Looking at the recent Time magazine I see the billboards that are encouraging Iraqis to vote. It has a hand dropping the Iraqi flag into a ballot box. The hand seems to be of light skinned. Could they have not got a different skin tone?

I know this sounds PO but look at the circumstances.

If someone could find that pic it would be great. I tried with no success.

Can this be moved to the politics forum? That is where I intended this to go.

I met an Iraqi man recently ,
he'd been a naturalized citizen for 14 years and was "whiter" than me . For reference , I'm caucasian . I've also met more than one lighter toned Arab while living in Kalifornica . I think the forum is appropriate for this posting since it's more of a social issue type question .

I drop the ballot from my cheeks while wearing a thong.

Ok , two questions:

1) Were you once a regular on the show "Jackass" ?

and:

2) Is your nickname at home "Steve-o ?

Yeah, I'm sure that whoever was in charge of the advertising campaign intentionally chose a light-skinned person JUST to piss off the Iraqis.

I know it's difficult to ALWAYS have something to criticize our country about, but this is stretching it a bit, don't you think?
