Tempest In a Tea Bag

I crafted this cartoon a couple of hours after the news had broken that Pastor Jones had chickened out on the famous Qur'an barbecue. But the thrust of the joke was tangential enough to the actual even that I decided to use it anyway.

(Of course now he says he might do it anyway. But what difference does it make?)

The Afghani people have been bombed and strafed and murdered for eight long years. They're even endured a covert band of U.S. soldiers indiscriminately killing civilians and subsequently keeping body parts as trophies. In light of all this does anyone honestly think a small bonfire is going to make them hate America more?

Puh-leeze!
