Just because you have freedom of speech doesn't mean you have to be an asshole.

My thoughts exactly. Do they have the right to publish them? Abso-fucking-lutely. It's free speech, clearcut.
Should they have published them? Abso-fucking-lutely not. They knew it was going to be inflammatory, and regardless, it's just disrespectful.
I do think the whole thing has gotten way out of hand though. Burning embassies over a cartoon? Thats ridiculous, and makes me more than a little scared for the future of the Arab middle east...
