how absurd the decision not to publish the comic strip was.

also how biased the editors at these newspapers truly are.  The blind lead the blind, they can't even see it can they?

Supreme Court,  National Security,  Borders,  Fiscal Restraint, my litmus test for President.  

Opus (aka, Berkeley Breathed) is perhaps onto something - lookie here from Variety.com:

An Israeli porn site is proving surprisingly popular with Web
surfers in a number of Arab countries, some of which don't have
diplomatic relations with Israel.

Ratuv, Hebrew for "wet,"
specializes in producing skinflicks with topical political themes,
typically featuring scenes involving female soldiers, Mossad agents and
members of the military.

After installing software that could
detect where users are logging on, managers of the site found they were
receiving thousands of hits a week from folks in Syria, Saudi Arabia,
Iran and Iraq, even though the Israeli net domain .il is blocked from
some of these countries.

That's not to say porn is the answer to "straighten out the middle east" but what if it does give us a clue that arabs are not so different from the rest of us after all? I quite frankly don't think arabs are as offended by the west as some Muslim organizations, like CAIR, would have us believe.

Shame on those newspapers that had the comics banned.

I agree with Johnson's view: it's not even funny.

 I would like to thank Muslims everywhere for reminding me Opus was still in the newspaper.

No, we shouldn't be surprised at all that these newspapers refused to run this innocuous cartoon which, by the by, lacks any laugh stimuli.  These newspapers are run by, edited by, and published by liberals.  By nature they are weak.  They have no backbone, no balls, no desire to advocate.  They follow the liberal, socialist agenda of appeasment, multiculturalism, and weeniism.  We who fight their battles for them must understand this.  They rely on us to protect them while they deconstruct America and everything it stands for.Hey, I don't mind fighting for them  They're weak and need support from stronger men.  We can only hope that someday they will realize that standing up to the enemies of America is the right thing to do. 

Years ago I was attending a Navy school at the Naval Training Center, San Diego.  Also there attending schools were a group of Saudi Navy guys.  They lived in the Chief Petty Officer's quarters.  Navy chief takes 12-18 years to achieve...a Saudi father would purchase the rank for their sons, average age 21-23.  They went crazy in San Diego. 

Most bought cars, big Caddys or Lincolns, and somewhere they obtained these huge, round "Dept. of Navy; Recruiting Command" appliques that normally went on recruiting vehicles.  They stuck these on the doors of their cars, and "Go Navy" bumper stickers on the bumpers and trunk lids.  And they had lots of girlfriends...usually as big as their cars.  They liked things "BIG." 

For them, rules were made to be broken; loud parties at night in room, with women present.  Cooking in rooms, strictly forbidden but they did it...vile smelling stuff.  The only thing they didn't have was a goat to stroke.  Couldn't discipline them because they were "guests." 

When they graduated and left, their rooms had to be professionally cleaned, sprayed for roaches, fumigated, and repainted.  That showed me, and many others, all I need to know about Saudi Arabians.  They are vain, egotistical, hypocrites, perverts...those guys are now probably "Religious Police," beating women who accidently exposes her nose in the street.  So are they "human?"  Yes, disgustingly so!
