Political cartoons time again!

[silversolitaire]

As you guys know I like political cartoons and I read them regularily. Naturally the cartoonists are running havoc right now with London. And since most of the cartoonists featured on that site are American you can already guess what kinds of cartoons you're going to see. The US is so good at pathos. Surprisingly, some were really good, too. I've made a selection of cartoons that caught my interest. Some I found very funny, despite the nature of the affair. A lot of them I found really really annoying, dripping with Americanocentric pathos and patriotism. Some were very true... Feel free to disagree with my selection.

The Liberty/Brittania one is refering not only to 9/11, but also to The London Blitz. It's still kind of annoying, though.

GAH! That's even more annoying -.-;;;. See, I totally ignored the writing on the shield. Bleh. That fits right into the category with those other cartoons where Hitler said to the terrorists "You should have asked me first. Bombing London will do you no good." >.<;
