Oh, it's a sewer! (Right?)

And all problems coming out of it. Ok.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

It says "shia = roach".

Re: No, not OK (4.00 / 2)

Where does it say shia? It says Iran in the middle of the sewer, not shia. Or am I taking you too literaly?

If so, you might be too. My "ok" was as in "ok, I get it" not as in "ok, all Iranians are cockroaches".

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Put that swarm of roaches next to a map of the geographical distribution of Shia. To claim that Iraq's Shia come from Iran, or Syria's, or Lebanon's is rather wrong.

In addition, what is the reflex that assaults one when seeing that cartoon? To stamp one's (heavy) boot on Iran.
