Draw Away

If violence isn't your cup of tea then how about the desecration of the memory of twelve million people killed in the Holocaust. Because nothing gives people more validity than a cartoon contest depicting the Holocaust. Hamshahri, one of Iran's most popular newspapers is holding honorable contest. The graphic editor gave this rationale:

"Western newspapers published these caricatures, which constitute desecration,under the pretense of freedom of expression," he said. "Let's see if they mean what they say once we publish Holocaust caricatures."

I can just imagine Israelis, Slavs, and others affected by the Holocaust burning effigy of the cartoonists, bombing embassies, and throwing rocks at police. I wonder if CNN will not run the results because it might offend some Holocaust survivors? Then again, who am i kidding.
