That map is great!
Still, I'm surprised at the uproar that this has caused. First, it's a pretty clever insult, more in line with the refined, sophisticated art of European condescension. I'm impressed it came from an American and not a Brit or a Frenchman. Maybe he stole it from one. And second, it isn't any different from Herta Daubler-Gmelin comparing Bush to Hitler or the "chocolate makers" calling Bush a cowboy. Just your everyday diplomatic childishness.
