But when one of their smallest members is pilloried for the crime of simply being a European country, it's a different matter.

Steve,

You seem to be under the impression this is some kind of government controlled issue, it isnt, a private business printed the cartoons, the newspapers that printed them are the ones at fault here, not the EU or Denmark.

Think of it like this, if an American adult company published and, distributed illegal adult content (CP, beasty etc), would you be saying that the private company was at fault or the 'industry' as whole?

Its no different to what has happened here, a private company made a bad decision which has had far reaching consequences.

It has nothing at all to do with the EU letting Denmark hang out to dry as you suggest or, would you prefer to see the government interjecting on free speech issues at a whim just because a group of extremists decide to go around and burn buildings down? Much like how the Christian-Right want to get rid of online pornography coincidently.

Regards,

Lee
