I am tired, no, I am sick of all the media's coverage around the each year anniversaries of the events that happened on the 9/11/01... Yes, of course, these events were horrible and important, but we know already all of this.
It seems that this is just a pretext to give to the president George War Bush the opportunity to make again one more hypocritical and disgusting speech on the war on terrorism in Iraq and everywhere in the world...

During that time, each single day, about 16 000 children die of starvation (according to this site). Did you know that ? Isn't it more important than the 3 000 (about) deads of the 11 September 2001 ?
I guess that the reason given for it is because a child dying of starvation is less spectacular for the cameras... Sick world.

You don't agree ? Comments welcome !

One word on my participation to the controversial INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST ON HOLOCAUST in Iran : it makes my cartoonist colleagues talk about ! I have some furious detractors on the BD Québec forum who vulgarly insulted me... That makes me laugh a lot ! I am an easy target for them, being the lonely Canadian cartoonist to have participated. It gives the occasion to some of them to dirty my reputation...
I just think that it is a tempest in a glass of water !
It doesn't seem to make a lot of waves elsewhere. The proof of the insignificance of my detractors ?...
Soon, publication of my controversial cartoons on this blog : stay tuned !

I'm waiting for your RIPOSTES IN BURST...
