have the editorial cartoonists noticed these yet?

a day or two ago tom friedman used almost the same words as joint chiefs chair gen peter pace used at today's senate hearing, but in a different context. friedman, speaking of lebanese who support hezbollah, said "they hate israel more than they love their children." pace was talking about iraqi sunnis and shiites. he said they need to "love their children more than they hate each other."

moktada al-sadr called the US, UK, and israel an "ominous trio" or "diabolical trio," depending on translation. i can see the comic book now:

OMINOUS TRIO

takes on

AXIS of EVIL!!!
