Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* part of me thinks that I've already linked to this, but here's a long article about the Danish cartoons as a symptom of the changing face of liberal politics in Denmark. I'm not sure I agree with all of the points, but there's a lot there to consider.

* the Danish Cartoons Controversy serves as informative backdrop for a new and well-received movie.

* the name of the person at the Associated Press that decided not to release the Muhammed caricatures when they became news is Kathleen Carroll, who explains why here. As I've stated a million times before, I think informing the public trumps offending people at a certain point, and that point was reached when it became a worldwide news story.

* this article engages the part of the worldwide protest over the Muhammed caricatures that hit Indonesia as a struggle between moderates and extremists.

* do hurt feelings about the caricatures come from a feeling of hopelessness?
