Quoting Roswitha: Dick Cheney. Accused mastermind of the 911 "terrorist" attack against the US (unproven), Cheney has been called "The Vice President For Torture" by the Washington Post. A staunch supporter of the Middle Eastern War Without End, Cheney, like Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld bears particular responsibility for the conduct of the war. Elder Statesman, walking around freely today.

Then what about the Danish cartoons? I am (genuinely, these days you have to add this or people will think you want to provoke..) wondering what you thought of them?

My original post in this thread was not in regards to the good or bad taste of the cartoon posted, but just rather a clarification on the definition of what a cartoon is and is not.
I believe the intent of just about all cartoons is to provoke, any artist realizes that.
