Considering how racist and imperialist Tintin is.

Perhaps the one is showing that ISIS is the natural result of colonialism.

Yep. One is right to argue that this was done by fanatics, but that won't stop public sentiment.

I used to love reading Tintin. My older brother had the complete collection. Ironically, I was concerned for him because he's an economist who travels through that airport regularly between France and Belgium. Luckily, I heard from him last night. He was in France when the attack occurred.

Belgium is a lovely country, I'm sad at what they're going through.

Last night I was thinking of Pandora's box, with Bush opening the lid and letting ISiS out. Your genie in a bottle reminded me of it. Someone should do a cartoon.
