Tripoli Defines as Provocative Qaddafi Cartoons
Tripoli expressed its protest against the 12 cartoons of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi published in Bulgarian newspaper Novinar defining them as provocative and improvident, online edition of TV station Al Jazeera comments.In relation to this the Libyan embassy to Bulgaria handed a protest note to the Bulgarian government. On his part Bulgarias President Georgi Parvanov apologized to the Libyan Ambassador to Sofia Zaher bin Shaaban and assured him it was an isolated case which will not influence the good relations between the two countries, Al Jazeera notes. Toon rage quickly followed by submissive postures from Euro governments. Anyone see a pattern developing here? When will they make their first big push against an American cartoon? Perhaps Comedy Central's preemptive capitulation deferred the first good opportunity. Posted by: ryuge 2006-05-04 |
