In case anyone wants my opinion...
... on the whole dead Hussein sons business, and some cartoons on it...

...for the record, I agree with August and especially with Robert (whose post on the issue is a must-read). In sum:

• Yes these guys were evil but...
• Assasinating them was both wrong (whatever happened to the assasination ban?) and stupid--they should have been captured alive. Aren't we supposed to be the good guys, ha ha ha?
• Bush doesn't deserve any congratulations, and this is hardly some big strategic victory that is going to miraculously make Iraq OK again or make the world a much safer place. (North Korea, anyone?)
• Focusing on the deaths of these two guys is a way of trying to take attention away from the whole WMDs issue and the "we're really bad at rebuilding" issue and the "U.S. soldiers are still being killed every day" issue...

As Robert points out, a lot of this seems to have been lost on even many liberal bloggers. I will add to that that a lot of this seems to have been lost on many liberal cartoonists, with the exception of Jeff Danziger and a few others. If you want to see a lot of cliched cartoons showing Uday and Qusay arriving in hell, or Uday and Qusay as rats being run under the wheels of an army tank, or Uday and Qusay as playing cards or the deaths of Uday and Qusay as somehow PREVENTING future wars, see Cagle's collection of Dead Evil Sons cartoons.

Speaking of cliched cartoons, Wiley had a great cartoon today about all those awful "Martha Stewart redecorating her jail cell" cartoons.

And not speaking of cliched cartoons or the dead Husseins, Scott Bateman feels the same way I do about the "economic recovery," and Ted Rall has a great one on the American political spectrum, Kevin Moore notes that our streets look a little different lately and Ampersand wonders "What if Babysitters Were Compensated Like CEOS?"

And not even speaking of cartoons, this blog is now listed in the Ms. Magazine blogroll, which is pretty cool.
