Because for the 857th time, I wasn't commenting on cartoons. I'd already said that with hindsight I was wrong about the hebdo cartoons at the time, and my first post in this thread gives a comment on the guardian cartoons. I was pointing out how the reactions of the wider public are in complete contrast with each other.
There was almost euphoric glee at the time of Denmark/Hebdo, and yet within an instant, these cartoons were (rightly) accused of using AS imagery.
