So people are going to take it upon themselves to keep this piece of info from others for our own sake? Wow, thanks, and when's the book burning btw? “The first rule of the DC Insider Blog is that there is no DC Insider Blog.”

It does? I think the way the Iraqi's are drawn as though they are ravenous animals is a little political. While some people felt this story was touching, I felt it was exploitative of all the soldiers who gave up their limbs or lives for Bush's war. And I really don't want to cheer on comic book characters as they gun down other human beings in what is a very political war. To write about the war in Iraq and pretend that it can be apolitical is to fake ignorance. “It does manage to stay apolitical about the war itself.”
