World Idiots: Israel Gaza Raid Mess, North Korea Cartoons - 5 June 2010

From Denny: Israel created a world storm of fury against them when they used excessive force on a boat raid of Gaza activists. You just don't shoot a man in the head four times and call it self-defense.

While most reasonable people agree that a country has the right to fight terrorism and the right to search aid boats for bombs and weapons, everyone also agrees that excessive force is unnecessary. What is also in evidence is that if the aid workers want to be taken seriously then they have to not provide resistance against Israel when they run a military blockade. It's suicide by bullets.

This week the mostly Turkish aid workers used more wisdom and chose to be calm and cooperative when boarded. This time the situation did not get out of hand with both sides making a better effort. And the biggest winners were the starving people in Palestine suffering from the Israeli blockade. It was a good week.

North Korea continues to be as weird as ever, declaring war with this country and that. Whether another war blows up between South Korea and North Korea remains to be seen. The good news is that South Korea has built up a million man army over the decades America has been there keeping the peace. There is no longer a reason for America's 38,000 troops to remain in South Korea. They have stood up their army and can take care of themselves.

Whats Happening in America This Week - Political Cartoons 17 Apr 2010

From Denny: This has been quite the eventful news cycle. The terrible tragedy that happened to Poland, losing all their top leaders all at once, was quite a shock. Now with the Icelandic volcano spewing ash all across northern Europe it's impossible even for President Obama to cross the Atlantic and fly in for the state funeral. Many leaders could not attend. Perhaps this was meant to be a private moment just for the Polish people...

The week was also dominated by President Obama meeting with other world leaders in a nuclear summit to determine what they will do to curb their own stockpiles as well as prevent proliferation - notably volatile irrational Iran.

The wing nut brigade returns center stage to blast any quality nominees for the Supreme Court replacement of Justice Stevens as he retires. And why does the President even listen to these guys? These are the same people who encourage their followers to issue death threats to Democrats and the President on a regular basis. They are inciting civil war, one not of political fights but of blood. Why would anyone consider their desires when they are the same people trying to kill you?

The tax season wound up this week too, much to everyone's relief - until next year's annoying frustration. :) Cartoonists were still churning out some goodies concerning tax season to make you laugh till your sides hurt.

Obama also announced this week cuts and redirection of the NASA program. Sounds like he cut off at the knees the Bush and Cheney paychecks of those excessive over run programs like the Constellation. We all knew that eventually something would have to give over at NASA. I would hope we do not turn too much of our security and scientific advancement over to private business that could end up like Wall Street: a gorilla too big to tame. Perhaps a cautionary tale, Mr. President?

Tiger Woods was back in the news for returning to golf to play the Masters tournament he did not win. The cartoonists had fun lampooning his return.

Make sure to visit back here next week. The best is yet to come: oh, baby, the cartoonists will be lampooning Wall Street and Goldman Sachs for their recent indictment by the government for just the beginning of their sleaze and fraud. There should be high drama this next week in the news and the cartoons to follow will prove entertaining! :)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend with the advent of the warmer Spring weather! Enjoy the cartoonists and their commentary...
