The Clash Of Civilizations In a Cartoon

Let the diplomats act diplomatic, but for us, let us cry havoc and let slip the cartoons of war. What he said. And more. Stephen Green:

I never wanted this Terror War to escalate into Samuel Huntington's "clash of civilizations." ....

They want a culture war? Fine. Let's give them one....

It seems we're in one. And as in any war, we can't afford to remain passive. Sun Tzu wrote that when your enemy is angry, annoy him. Is there any doubt the Arab Street is at long last really angry? Then it's time for us to wage an Offensive Offensive. If they're angry, let's really piss them off. Let's show the Arab Street that in a war between our attitude and theirs, we're the Fonz and they're Ralph.

"Piss Christ?" That's nothing – we can crap Mohammed if we want to. With a little CGI help, our porn industry could churn out some man-on-man action in Mecca.

NBC could turn the writing staff of "Will & Grace" loose on the Hamas homophobes. Maybe Broadway could give them "The Clitorectomy Monologues."
