Hi Cobe, you are right, I have not read Doonesbury since Mike started his own dotcom, though some of those strips were hilarious. Yes, one would never expect Hitler to sign a pact with Stalin, he is too anticommunist. Oops, I guess they did. Who knows what commonality of interests might beget? Do you suppose that having the US as an enemy might have sufficed to bring about cooperation between Iraq and Al Qaida? Could be........

It's a conspiracy. A few points: 1. The Doonesbury take seems to be a reasonable synthesis of the new official disavowal of any evidence existing for a 9/11 - Saddam link and Rumsfeld's "Bring 'em on" line on Iraqi occupation resistance. Perhaps a little acerbic in tone, but after the evaporation of the official "WMD" war line, followed by countless other twists and turns, a little acerbicity seems warranted enough. 2. Doonesbury is a comic strip, though more topical than most. Like Leno and Letterman, but totally unlike, say, favorite rightist "entertainer" Rush Limbaugh, Doonesbury is perfectly willing to find amusement with whoever happens to be in power. I know that's just not fair to the true believers in W, but that's life. 3. Why, exactly, Doonesbury is allegedly the official house organ for "the antiwar/anti-Bush party line" is obscure. I mean, Trudeau beats Chomsky and everything, but still.
