What has been missing in all this hysteria was pointed out by Fred Barnes on Brit Humes show - Thursday I think - the euroweenies published their cartoons as part of their anti-religion crusade.
It is not official policy to trash religions in this country. The Europeans quickly took refuge in freedom of speech etc. but they are really about ridiculing religion to an extent far beyond what the average American would tolerate here.
Ditto.. remember all the "w" keys?

FIRE!!!!!
There, I said it....
It is the Bush State Department.
If the Bush Admin doesn't have control of it, they don't need to be trying to run the Executive Branch.
Bush is now in his 2nd term. It is the Bush State Department. Any trouble-making Clinton hold-overs ARE Bush's fault, now.
It's not spurius argument. I'm really starting to get sick of the blindness of Freepers on this issue. We accuse the RATS of saying the "support our troops" and then do everything to undermine them.
Supporting the Danes in their quest for freespeech purity will UNDERMINE OUR TROOPS IN THE FIELD.
That is not a spurious argument and it has nothing to do with 1991 (speaking of stupid spurious arguments). We're talking about a VERY fragile situation in Iraq RIGHT NOW. With our troops on the line, EVERY DAY.
These cartoons not only are not CRUCIAL they are NOTHING compared to our troops in Iraq.
Iraq is where the real battle lines are being drawn.
How fickle of so many Freepers. I want Jim R's opinion on this issue. How sickeningly fickle. I'm tempted to leave this site over this issue, but there are enough other people around here who "get it" to keep me here.
A lot of you are turning into a bunch o' DU'ers, abandoning our troops in the field to rush to the aid of EUROWEENIES who will SPIT IN YOUR FACE for all the help you offer them once this is over.
And you damn well know it.
As for blaming this on the State Department. I bet this was policy from the TOP. So go join Cindy and call for an impeachment.
And please, go over to DU where our troops are forgotten every minute of every working day.
I already sent a letter to the State Department.
Maybe some letters to the editor and smoe to the White House are also in order.
YOU are the one who is forgetting why are troops are there in the first place. It is to defend freedom and to fight the forces of tyranny. NOT to defend Sharia Law and fight Western freedoms. Iraq is just one battlefield in the war against Islamofascism. We are ALL footsoldiers on the home front--the cultural battle to defend Judeo-Christian values against barbaric Islam. And in that war, like it or not, we are on the same side as the "euroweenies" you decry. By the way--are you aware that Denmark is on our side in Iraq, and have troops on the ground? Pretty insulting to call them "weenies", in my opinion.
In a sense samtheman is right. The official government-speak has to be careful .. even the Danish government made semi-conciliatory noises.
This is the people's fight, more specifically the press. Every free-speech supporting newspaper should print these cartoons.
They also should expose the cartoons that the inflammatory imam included in his materials that were provided by fellow Moslems, not the Danish newspapers.
On the other hand, samtheman need not accuse everyone who disagrees with him of DU leanings
Denmark has boots on the ground in Iraq. How dare you call them Euroweeinies and insult them by defending the embassy burning Muslim animals. It is YOU who are doing the spitting here.
My point exactly. The Muslims are asserting that because Sharia Law forbids displays of their "Prophet", that non-Muslims must obey Sharia Law or face violence, arson and murder. This is a line in the sand. Do we defend Judeo-Christian values of freedom? Or Sharia barbarism? Your point about official government-speak is well-taken, but the extent to which the State Department went to deplore these cartoons was excessive and gives the impression they are defending the marauding protesters.
I'd forgotten that Denmark is also in Iraq.
Makes our weaseling even worse.
Great. Now let's see the Post print the cartoons.

Done last night. Each of you should as well.
Any hint of decency shown to muslims or the prophet (PORK be upon him!) is viewed by the muslims as weakness. If the current administration hasn't the balls to ACT in a manner that we voters approve of, we need to "motivate" them.
That "piss christ" was sponsored (in part) by the government, is outrageous. Pointing out that violence is sponsored and perpetrated by followers of the prophet (PORK be upon him AND them!) in a cartoon is just, and right. If the terrorists don't like it, maybe they should stop acting like dogs and start acting like civilized men.
