Mike Lester: "I hate getting American Soldiers' blood on my fingers"

Oh, I've been wanting to post the above cartoon by Mike Lester for several days.
OMG - I Love it!
Read what "Darly Cagle's Professional Cartooon Index" has to say in his July 7th, 2006 post" "ANOTHER CARTOON CONTROVERSY."
Today's cartoon controversy comes from our own Mike Lester of the Rome (GA) News-Tribune. This controversy grew out of an editorial in the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper which ran Mike's cartoon at he right; the editorial led to a story by Romanesko on the Poynter.org site, a must read for journalists, and that, in turn, led to a story on Editor & Publisher, the journal of record for the journalism business.Read the rest here.
Frankly, I don't see that this cartoon should be controversial. There are so few conservative cartoonists that when when strong conservative cartoons come up, newspapers get unusual responses from liberal readers...
