Justifying the Unjustifiable.

The Danish Embassy torched in Damascus and Lebanon. Suicide Bomber (hopefully a fake one) in London. And you're getting such tolerant suggestions as these from the folks who are 'upset' by the cartoons...

You've got a lot to worry about, culture-wise.

I find it really interesting, as well as saddening, that there's such an outcry on this issue. The thing is - the freedom of speech that the protestors are using is something that they'd deny those they disagree with - to the point where they advocate killing those they disagree with. In other words, free speech is a great concept and they're all for it - as long as they get to use it as a club to shut the other guy up through threats and intimidations.

Beheadings. Killings. Firebombs into embassies. Over the cartoons shown here. You know what I want to see on CNN and MSNBC?

Pictures of the burned embassies, next to the cartoons. In fact, I may do that later. And you know something? If you're Muslim and you're offended - my give-a-shit meter's pegging to the left.
