(look at the "cartoons" posted in the Iraq thread...IMO they are not politically correct, yet they appear in national/international newspapers.....

What about the cartoons your papers have concerning Bush and America? Or the puppet shows your media is so fond of doing? And those cartoons, concerning France and Germany, are tame to what people are actually saying.

(don't read if part of th PC crowd or support France. We couldn't have jokes like...

How many frenchman does it take to defend France?

Answer....

Don't know, it's never been tried before.

Or this one...

What do you call a thousand Frenchman with their hands in the air?

Answer...

The french army.

Chirac by the way - recently gave an interview to show that he is not "anti-american" and said that he loves junk food and puts on a couple of pounds everytime he leaves here. I guess he thought that that was supposed to be a compliment. Obviously he never tried TRUE American cuisine, otherwise he would not have felt that it was junk food.

I agree they're not PC - but I'm against PC. If everything was Politically Correct - satire would be impossible, as would humor.
