Printing inflammatory cartoons that are offensive to a militant and terrorist religion is only asking for trouble.

Trying to be sensitive to a maniac cult serves no purpose.

Barbarians don't understand or appreciate 'sensitivity', they only see it as weakness.

Several European newspapers have printed the cartoons...some more than once.

We are supposed to defend free speech. The State Department's version of political correctness will be interpreted instead as political cowardice.

They SHOULD have said the same thing as the Danish government:

We do not have the right, as government, to tell the newpapers what they can and cannot print.

Exactly so. It will be duly noted in the various dens of moslem evil known as mosques that in the first chance they had, The US government cowered before Allah. This craven whimper by State will embolden the murderers. In the long run, this statement will cost American lives.
