Have been enjoying all this Joni content, which is not surprising given what we want to forget.
But just to be a wet blanket, I've translated a email cartoon I received scanned from a Spanish newspaper,(don't know which one) which hit home. It's a close-up drawing of a little boy's head who says: "Messrs Bush, Blair and Aznar: I am an Iraqi child and I would like to express my gratitude. I do not doubt your good intentions with the bombings and all, because I imagine that if Saddam continued in power for much longer, our situation would become even worse. Which is why me and my family would like to applaud you and thank you for your efforts." But then the picture pans out and we see him full on. He has no arms and there are 9 coffins stacked behind him. He adds: "Unfortunately, we can't." Despite Spain's government, the majority of newspapers do not hold back. gill in madrid NP BBC world service.
