Hi Andy I wasn't offended by the image myself, but did think it inappropriate to post to a global list, I know the argument about you don't have to open the link, but the mail did not contain a description of what the image looked like. I can understand why some listers may find it distasteful, the depiction can be taken as the US using military might to crush the rest of the world underfoot, admittedly those being crushed weren't the people you would normally invite round for the family bbq, but it is the implied nature of the image that would probably put someones nose out of joint.
It has to be remembered that this is a global list and what is one person's art treasure is another's symbol of mistrust.
