The cartoon heard around the world

This cartoon from the Washington Times has caused quite a stir in Pakistan.



Understandably, many in Pakistan are offended by this cartoon. But the reaction of some is way over-the-top.

Some [Pakistani] legislators called for a complete review of Pakistan's alliance with the US.

It is a bit scary to think that the important geopolitical alliance between the U.S. and Pakistan could even theoretically be threatened by one private citizen's expression of an opinion, no matter how offensive it may be to anyone.
