I'm not sure why you think WB is saying the cartoonist didn't have the right to draw/write the cartoon in question.

It seems clear that WB was simply pointing out the flaws in the cartoonist's comparisons.




Exactly. I fully defend the right of these liberal jerks to incriminate themselves with half-baked partisanly anti-american remarks.

It's quite easy to expose the liberal distortions of such remarks, and the flawed anti-American rationalizations they are based on.

I've read a poll where most in Iraq think it's OK to fire upon US troops. Could the poll your referring too, have been earlier?




The poll I mention, of Iraqis across all ethnic groups, was taken in the last three months, since death squads and high body counts broke out across Iraq.

The poll you mention about "where most in Iraq think it's OK to fire upon US troops" was before the current situation, a poll of Sunnis (about 15 to 20% of Iraq's population, the former ruling pro-Saddam minority, mostly in the Baghdad area), and the Sunnis have now expressed a greater appreciation for the presence of U.S. troops in the area, since U.S. forces are what's protecting them from full-scale slaughter by death squads of the 60% Shi'ite majority in Iraq, seeking payback for their years of slaughter by Saddam Hussein's government.
