Whit Broussard Ottawa I am still saddened by the events unfolding in various Muslim countries following the undesirable and unnecessary publication of cartoons of the Prophet. That mess could have been avoided if there had been sensible restraint and mutual respect. Although the delirious arrogance and insolence of the West have long...
