What in God's name is happening here? This story is currently being covered extensively throughout the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Never mind what this does to the image of United Airlines - what does it do to the image of the United States?

Footage of a passenger being forcibly dragged down the aisle of an aircraft doesn't do much for the reputation overseas of the land of the free and the home of the brave (and, yes, I'm very much pro-USA) - a supposedly civilised society.
