Evidently the Libyan riots were due to t-shirt versions of the cartoons...

Ten die in Libya cartoon protest

gulfnews.com

At least ten people died outside the Italian consulate in Benghazi, Libya during a protest over the Danish cartoon controversy.

The riot was sparked by an Italian minister who said that he was making t-shirts featuring the cartoons of P which have sparked violent protests throughout the world.

On Friday Reforms Minister Roberto Calderolian unveiled the T-shirt underneath his suit while appearing on Italian state-run RAI television.

The ten casualties occurred when police with Kalashnikov rifles fired live rounds and tear gas into the crowd to try and disperse them.

>Before that you only had Uzay and his cronies doing the same thing with little exposure if any by CNN and Fox.

Saddam killed, but not at this pace, and a lot of it was in the context of the Kurdish insurgency and the Iran-Iraq war.
