This is part of a longer report that will identify the players and strategy behind the cartoon jihad.
For the record: I thought those Mohammed cartoons were a very bad idea. I believe there's a lot of power in well-focused ridicule, but the enemy isn't Mohammed, it's the Islamists. Publishing the cartoons was a sneering act of weakness, typical among secularists unprepared and devoid of will for fighting the well-tuned strategy of the Ikhwan (and I suspect our Muslim brothers know this). Far from being a statement of conviction, they were a foreshadowing of the inevtiable obseisance offered when things started to burn.
