#1 Wow! A bureaucrat "speaking truth to power" eh? Wonder how long he'll last? I, for one, would like some of those T-Shirts, since you can't find the cartoons printed in the MSM here.

#3 It's been fun bashing the EUros, but they appear to have a better understanding of the issues than Jack Straw or our State Department.

I say phuch 'em if they can't take a joke. Freedoms of expression and of the press must not be compromised. Self censorship is submission, not sensitivity.

#4 that's a jaw dropper. I'm beginning to wonder if Europe isn't much like the US, where the majority of the people have common sense, but the media and ruling elite have not been representing their constituents. Think the US had Gore and Kerry won the elections. We'd eventually "get ugly" too.

#6 Europe is heading for the cliff. I don't like these Right-Wing parties at all but political correct mulitculturalist elitism has become so pervasive that it has effectively made all discussion of prickly issues taboo. You cannot criticize Muslims without being tarred as a Racist. This is leading normal people with normal questions and doubts and fears into the arms of the actual racists.
And this goofball typically and clumsily misreads and mishandles the crisis. The point is not to focus on the images but the focus on the Islamicists, like Mullah Laban, who sparked this whole brouhaha.
