The cockroache, I believe, is a more honourable and dignified creature than the human-beings who try to use it to to demean other human-beings, even though they themselves see it as far beneath them and even far beneath the people they hypocritically try to demean.

Artists, whose imagination cannot go beyond the sewer, must feel right at home drawing for the discredited, propagandist, corporate owned mass media, if it can be called that, that claims to inform Americans but in fact lies, misleads and misinforms to serve its true masters: the greedy, warmongering, anti-human clique of capitalists and fascists bent on destroying the planet and it’s inhabitants for their short-sighted grab for riches at all costs.

Ummm, money and profit are REAL reasons as much as people don’t want to believe it, even if it may not be the right reasons. The majority of all people are cockroaches, and this article almost proves that. Are people really so sensitive that a simple cartoon places thier beliefs in peril? Are people really so stupid that a simple cartoon would passively cause them to accept a war which they don’t understand? Yes, because we are cockroaches. My beliefs are trampled every day by ordinary people and I don’t cry and protest about it, mainly because of what nnamdi already said above.
What amazes me is the ability for Iran to play the hypocrite to its own people. Every time they are offended by something in the West, they retaliate by doing the exact same thing. Children, all these people act like little children. The only people creating a “wall” are those that are offended by everything, not those who have a cynical sense of humor.

To nnamdi :

The heck is that -believe it or not – the USA are once again geared to destroy a country like they did in Iraq, and in Vietnam before.

This kind of deshumanizing cartoon is exactly in the same trend of those who were published in nazi Germany before WW2 – by dehumanizing people, you are putting the US audience in the correct mindset to accept slaughter once again.

Whatever offending the cartoons about Christ may be, they are never originating from Muslims countries, nor being published in an atmosphere of war against all Christians.

Freedom of speech is okay – but this kind of inflammatory propaganda is just criminal – in the sense that they make the public ready to accept bombing a country for no reason.

Iran is in any case in its borders. The real alien cockroaches, soldiers and mercenaries, are those who travelled 10 000 miles to wreak havoc and massacre in this region not for a single real reason but money and profit.

no doubt the cartoon is offensive, it is an insult directed to the people of iran , to humanity and civilization, the cartoonist is an irresponsible idiot whose intention is to create wall among civilization, people like him should be barred from contributing anything to national dailies.

Maybe the cartoonist meant it as an offense to Iran, but it could be interpreted that the cockroaches are the US military after they invade Iran, and the sewer is what they have made of the country, as they did Iraq.

what is all the heck about cartoon or no cartoon, Christians watch as Jesus is depicted as a sinner with Mary Magdalene yet not routes and killinngs nor request for apology.We should all learn that the supporters of all these cartoons and their publishers are not the ones to die, but the poor innocent ones who will be fooled to go out protest. it is the same evrywhere. let the cartoon be, let the publishers be, since you know you are not cockroach, they will get tired, when you dont react. but when you react they will write more. cant you see, and when you react more people will protest and others will go to war and others will supply war equipments while others will be richer.
