Subtle political humor from the Arab world.
Notice that Bush is barefoot, but wearing gloves -- the cartoonist may be expressing symbolism that is lost on me.

At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe.
We are in a new phase of a very old war.

Re the Arab cartoon. The barefoot hick is just faking taking on the giant. He's not about to get his hands dirty.

Sounds good to me.
Actually, I was wondering if it had something to do with the fact that Arabs consider feet and shoes to be great insults under certain circumstances -- remember when Saddam's statue got smacked with shoes? Maybe there's an insult hidden in this...
Nothing wrong with shoes, just we must take em off for prayers.
Facing such a giant is scaring anyway, innit?
Are you implying that President Bush has converted to Islam? Maybe he attends the same mosque as Bill Gates...
