This oughta be interesting...

It appears that an Iranian newspaper has thrown down the gauntlet and has begun a contest for cartoons on subjects such as the Holocaust and "America and Israel's crimes and plundering" in an effort to see whether there are limitations on the West's vaunted "freedom of expression".

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre, which has already weighed into the discussion by pointing out the double standard of the offended mid-East governments when it comes to anti-Semitic articles and cartoons, is, uh, sub-happy about the whole thing.


This indeed will be interesting to watch.
