This cartoon is silly and distorts both sides.

Heh... just saw how you edited that to actually make it on topic!
Was:
"lame... many more iraqis have died than americans"
Now:
"many more iraqis have died than americans...put that in the 'dog' panel."
Missing from both:
The fact that Americans didn't target innocent civilians and then broadcast gloating footage of their vicious execution, and that the mainstream Iraqis are not the ones performing or supporting the actions of the militants.
[edit]OMG, an editing spree! Now it's: "This cartoon is silly and distorts both sides."
IT'S A FRICKEN POLITICAL CARTOON! THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT![/edit]

Don't think of it like that, think of it as being quicker on the draw.
My main problem is that each point you made was irrelevant. Political cartoons are not meant to be CNN in Four Panels.

How's this, then?
Congratulations for retracting the extremely lame sniping, and shame on you for replacing it with moderately lame sniping.

It's OK Birds, I've done it many times here and I know others (coughBashcough) have done the same thing.
It does distort both sides, but the deeper meaning of it really hits home.
Yea... I'm voting for Nader again.

This was your perfect chance to use the "Arguing on the internet is like running in the special Olympics, even if you win you are still retarded" picture.

Good cartoon, but what a strange segue.
