hello pot, i'm kettle.

seriously, is this not the most asinine thing you have ever seen. the muslim world has exploded in violence in protest to being depicted as violent in a political, editorial cartoon. a boycott of goods from denmark or maybe some nonviolent protests outside consulates would seem appropriate, however 10 dead and embassies burning seems a bit much. hamas elected to positions of power in a free election and violence over cartoons...good job guys, way to go.

that being said, doesn't bush calling to 'stop the violence' over mohammed cartoons, seem just a little hypocritical? if i was the leader of a country that had been engaged in war for several years, i think that i would stop and think before i made any declarations about ending violence.
