...elegance at times, but in doing so they reach down one's thoat and throttle one's guts. The expressive work in these cartoons leaves the reader breathless: breathless with laughter, with horror, with pain and with amazement. Some of them will deserve a place in the comics pantheon with the cartoons of Walt "Pogo" Kelly, one of the greatest stylists of all comic history...
...swords and spears. The stakes would have been familiar to Sri Lankans at any point in the past 10 centuries: the minority Tamil population wants independence from the Sinhalese-dominated government in Colombo. They speak a different language, and they look to different gods: the Tamils to the Hindu pantheon and the Sinhalese to Buddha.

In Republic of Fear, reissued last year by Pantheon, Samir al-Khalil argues that Saddam's political forebears include not just Adolf Hitler -- the precedent George Bush likes to stress -- but Joseph Stalin as well. A corollary to the cult of personality is the principle that everyone but the leader is expendable. In addition to ensuring obedience, terror reminds the followers that they are cannon fodder in the struggle ("the mother of battles," as Saddam would have it) against all who oppose Numero...
