Roll the looneytunes music, enter cel right Yosemite Sam and his six-shooters....
Fan the flames...here comes the Hamshahri newspaper in Iran and its "international cartoon contest about the Holocaust," according to Farid Mortazavi, graphics editor for the paper.
More at ABC News International, '"Iran's best-selling newspaper has launched a competition to find the best cartoon about the Holocaust in retaliation for the publication in many European countries of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad."'
"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05
