[Peace-discuss] Cartoon hysteria

[Karen Medina]

I agree, discrimination and injustice are horrible. And they 
should never be ignored. But the discrimination and 
injustice is much much deeper than the cartoon situation. 
Especially in France. Even here in the US I could see this 
going back and forth for a long time, "well if they did 
that, then we need to do this." Acts of discrimination and 
injustice are exploiding each round.

And take a look at what Rice is trying to do with it... 
point fingers at Syria and Iran saying that they are feeding 
the fires, while she herself is using it to build up 
international hatred in order to justify ... 

When anger rules, we hand over power to those who know how 
to manipulate.
