As the Title suggests I am a vet, and proud of it, and proud of all those that wear the uniform of the United States of America. You name it we'll talk about it. Politics, sports and much more. However, I am also very interested in what is happening to this great country of ours, politically and socially...So SOUND OFF PRIVATE!!!

Where are the Protests and Violence?

I don't understand! Just a few weeks ago thousands of Muslims (led by extremists) were marching in the streets, holding signs to "kill" the cartoonist that drew Mohammed. Where are the embassy burnings and the fires of rage? Well, this is how democracy works. Outraged, yes. Murdering and violence, NO. Do you think that the enraged Muslims could take a lesson from our kin "down under". Even though they may not agree completely with what we are doing, they still have the self-restraint to do things the right way, it's called "civilized". Do you think there will be an apology?

Prosecution Urged for Offensive Cartoon

There were no riots in the streets, embassies attacked or beheadings threatened during a recent protest over a sacrilegious cartoon in New Zealand. But one top cleric is calling for those responsible to be prosecuted.

Why the muted reaction down under?

Because the cartoon in question didn't satirize Mohammed, but offered instead a parody involving the Virgin Mary and the Pope too disgusting to be described here.
Auckland priest Dr. Denzil Mueli asked police on Saturday to prosecute New Zealand TV channel C4 for blasphemy over its decision to screen a recent "South Park" episode titled "Bloody Mary."
