“Everyone is in favor of free speech… but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.” ― Winston Churchill
Does anyone think the recent upsurge in attacks on Canadian troops in Afghanistan might be a result of Canada’s Minister of National Defence apologizing on behalf of a free press for publication of a Danish cartoon or two?

I do not think these Taliban are sending a message to the Western Standard. That leaves… who?
