    This contest could be more poweful and international if the host could send the invitation to cartoonists all over the world.I feel sorry that I couldn’t participate in it but I hope that in the future I will receive regular invitations form the host by including me in their mailing list.

    These cartoons are very near to reality and they are appriciated.I read in the history books , when the tyrants, society and country crossed the limit of their cruelity. Then nature did the justice and they were distroyed by God. This lesson will be repeated again and again.

Timely Reminders

"Those who crusade, not for God in themselves, but against the devil in others, never succeed in making the world better, but leave it either as it was, or sometimes perceptibly worse than what it was, before the crusade began. By thinking primarily of evil we tend, however excellent our intentions, to create occasions for evil to manifest itself."
-- Aldous Huxley

"The only war that matters is the war against the imagination. All others are subsumed by it."
-- Diane DiPrima, "Rant", from Pieces of a Song.

"It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there"
-- William Carlos Williams, "Asphodel, That Greeny Flower"
