Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

*
This article is probably as far away from the actual comics-part of this reverberating new story as I'll ever likely go, but you do get more about original bounty offerer Mullah Dadullah and the strangest use of a
Three Stooges picture I've ever seen.
* I really doubt the Danish Cartoons incident
could have gone nuclear, but I appreciate the audacity of the rhetoric.
* There are going to be "well, why didn't you feel that way about the Muhammed cartoons" articles
for years yet.
*
This article suggests that the violence of the Danish Cartoons protests will be used to add implied muscle to legal harassment pursued by Islamic groups.
* I agree with the notion floated in
this interview that so many US news sources deciding not to publish the Muhammed caricatures when what those cartoons looked like represented crucial information is an important story; however, it's simply not true that only one US paper published the cartoons.
