is it possible to launch a rss feed's link within my website instead of the original website?
For example: NHCR feed:

1. NHCR battles cold front in northern Pakistan
2. Egypt allows more time for UNHCR to interview detained Sudanese

When clicked on the above link, my website will become NHCR website which I don't want that to happen. Is there an easy way to work around this problem?

Thanks

I'm non-technical and haven't tried it yet myself, so can't say for sure, but I think this Aggregator 2 module will do this: http://drupal.org/node/32384

Rather than just linking to another site, I think it 'sucks it in' to yours so it's part of your site.

You are using the words 'launch', 'within' and 'become' in ways that are not quite English. At least not webmaster English ;-)

About Syndication and Aggregation

Unless you are using frames, I interpret your request to be that you want to take the content from another site and put it into your page with your branding and navigation (and advertising?) around it.

Well, unfortunately, that's a bit naughty. It CAN be done technically, but unless you have permission from the source, it's actually copyright violation/theft.

However...
As Neil says, aggregator is a module which allows you to do half the job. When a site syndicates an RSS feed, they are saying "Here is as much of the content as you can have for free, use it on your own site" BUT that feed usually contains just the first few paragraphs or something. You can publish the overview on your own page (get the module), but the reader is expected to visit the source site for the full story.
That's how aggregation/syndication works these days.

A few blogs and stuff will actually publish the entire 'story' or article for free in the feed (which I interpret to mean the content is free to republish) but you won't find that in commercial media outlets unless you are subscribed (pay them).

All make sense? There's probably a better-written legal FAQ out there somewhere on the web.
