Sam Donaldson said it best on This Week. He said basically that just because you have the right to do something doesn't mean it's right to do it.

As a political cartoonist for almost 30 years I can tell you I would never have targeted Muhammed as a caricature because I know from history courses it would send the Islamics off. I remember a movie from the '70s that showed an actor playing Muhammed and the muslims went ape over it. It even starred Anthony Quinn!

This cartoon controversy is just what the Al Queda and Bin Laden's needed to show how insensitive the west is. Just another excuse to start shit.

If this controversy continues into next week, you can bet that's only the beginning. The Islamics aren't going to let it rest until a major apology by the governments that ran the toon come forward and then some.
