I wonder how much better our lives would be if we attacked dishonest politicians with as much gusto as we attack cartoons that make us mad.

I honestly could care less what the cartoon says. Cartoons don't anger me. A secretary of defense that views the citizens he deigns to protect as bothersome irritants is what angers me.

And I prefer to be spared the melodrama of a bunch of generals taken aback by a cartoon depicting a soldier who's lost all his limbs. Where's their outrage over the REAL soldiers who lose their arms and legs? Are they going to write a letter to our president spelling out their distate for this unjust war?
