Why do you bring up the nazis in your website link? Bush cannot be perfect, nor can any man please all people, but are we not free to post in forums? Where are the forums in iraq?

The Soviet Unuin is dead, and it was never free. What point are you trying to make I could not never understand

I have to wonder what news channels you are watching. I have seen spots on community conflict over differing opinions about the war, peace watch events, demonstrations (peaceful and otherwise), and a number of personal opinion spots. My favorite is the 'AMERICAN FRIES' bit. Despite the differing opinions of the current governments involved, I have not forgotten the nationality of the beautiful lady in NY harbor. Nor have I forgotten what she means. I doubt if the French have forgotten all of the US lives lost freeing France from Nazi rule in WWII.

I am in favor of the war, and of the opinion that we should have started this roughly 10 years ago when the first UN inspectors were thrown out of Iraq the first time. I spent 23 years in uniform, and would have gone then if called. I do not hate. I wish war were never neccessary. I believe that hesitation in the face of the nessecity of war only makes things worse and more difficult.

Please feel free to disagree. I am, as are all those who have worn the uniform of the military forces of the United States of America, sworn to protect your right to speak freely and without fear any idea you might have. However silly.

I'm always proud of our military and they are my heroes. Thank you, Byl, for everything!!

BTW, WELCOME HOME TO MUPPET CENTRAL!!

What can you expect when some people like the Soviet Union of communists? There is no perspective when the comments come from a free land as we live in today.

Where are the forums in communist countries?

What about the man killed in Tiannemen Square by a tank.

Some people get romantic about comunists, but I never do

It's like I told a friend of mine: Stop taking freedom for granted and go live in that other country and TRY to live like he does here. He'll see a big difference in how he's treated---if he lives through it.

A few years ago we (the Mid-South Cartoonists Assoc.) had a cartoon art show "Halloween Squared" at Overton Square here in Memphis. A portion of our art sales goes to charity, and our charitable event was to add to the fund to free an Egyptian cartoonist who was jailed by order of their President/King-guy because he drew a cartoon about the country's leader. The drawing and Essam Hanafy appear in our photos section:

Maybe this link will take you right to the album?
Halloween Squared!

Esam Hanafy, Egyptian Cartoonist IN JAIL.

Jailed for THIS?!

And THIS?!

Man, folks take freedom too lightly. If USA was like this, there'd be no more cartoonists left.

That is horrible. Did he ever get released?

Personally I like his work..heh.

[Mark Filton]

Yes, very good cartooning

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Honestly, I'm unsure if he did or not. I hope so, otherwise it's life imprisonment or death.

All for a cartoon. hmph.
